"The student continued working on unit 10 on statistics in the K-12 home school curriculum. Lesson 8 presented mean absolute deviation, a measure of how far data points are from the mean. He first needed to recall the difference between mean and median. He fully understands that mean is an average, found by adding all the numbers and dividing by how many were in the data set. The lesson checkpoint quiz score was 100%, where he understood each step and performed the calculations with minimal support. He scored 84% on a 6-question mid-unit assessment, showing his understanding of stem and leaf plots and stem and whisker plots. Lesson 10 on outliers began with a skills update, which reviewed angles, on which he scored 100% independently. He understands complementary, supplementary and straight angles. He knows to subtract to find missing angle measures. He then scored 80% on the lesson checkpoint, showing good comprehension of how an outlier makes the mean less useful than the median to represent the data. He is able to find the interquartile range in a box and whisker plot. In considering how an outlier will change mean and median, he made the calculations with minimal prompting and some review. Finally, lesson 11 on sampling and bias was completed. Here, he demonstrated exceptional prior knowledge of the meanings of population, representative sample and bias. He firmly grasped the lesson and scored 100% on both the skills update quiz and the lesson checkpoint quiz."

"We continued to cover rules of exponents and how to simplify problems with exponents and multiple variables. I emphasized taking the problems step by step and focusing on one set of like values at a time. "

"The Geometry that we covered was not at all in the arena of traditional Euclidean Geometry. It dealt exclusively with coordinate geometry, using higher levels of advanced algebra. I was very happy that this was the case because I am personally very proficient in this type of mathematics and have developed all sorts of techniques that help students manage the elements of what they are being asked to do. This session, we worked primarily with quadratic equations, their solutions and their parabolic graphs. This involved finding the vertex, axis of symmetry, direction of opening, and actual creation of the parabola that is created from a given quadratic equation using a formula and a sequential process. We also worked with the quadratic equation and the discriminant, and I was able to help her see the importance of and correct use of these mathematical elements. She seemed almost relieved that the methods I was able to teach her made it all seem much more manageable and understandable for her. She even made comments that it was so much easier for her now. We both seemed to look forward to meeting again in two weeks so that she could get further answers and become more proficient in dealing with what is required of her. I left her with many notes and problem solving samples."

"We reviewed conversions of fractions, decimals, and percents from a homework sheet. Then we began discussing solving for unknowns in one- and two-step problems. We discussed how to calm the mind and focus attention."

"We reviewed over the concepts of limits, substitution involving interchanging x and u terms, separating integrals, and solve limits with L'Hopital."

"We covered proofs using theorems concerning parallel lines. The student had difficulty with definitions/terminology. We will meet again tomorrow, so I am having her memorize/familiarize herself with all the theorems so we can go over them easily tomorrow and work on applying them correctly. "

"The student was uncertain about whether his professor planned a quiz for Wednesday, so we decided to work on an assignment that is due soon while using it to study for a quiz. We covered quite a bit of material, including how to run and interpret chi squared tests, interpret confidence intervals, and how to understand odds ratios. He seemed to understand the material by the time we were done."

"Today's session was a review session for the student's chapter 7 test. He had a study guide that listed the types of trigonometric calculations he will have to make. We reviewed level of depression and elevation, finding exact values of trig functions, and complementary cofunctions. He was a lot better and quicker on his feet with some of the problems. He had a very positive and active attitude during the session. I was able to answer all of his questions, and I recognized he was learning effectively. I suggest he review all of his flashcards with the different relations and also master the unit circle in order to ace the test! "

"The student had a worksheet that required her to use the Pythagorean theorem and properties of special right triangles to solve for side lengths. Initially, she was having some confusion on how to set up the equations. The worksheet offered a great deal of practice and she made fewer mistakes as we moved through it. The last few figures at the end combined the skills and she seemed to be clear on the process. Another skill that was addressed was working with radicals. She was very good at simplifying and rationalizing expressions. We talked about writing down as much of the process as possible when she solves problems so that when she tests, she can earn more partial credit. Her equation solving is flawless. We had just a few minutes at the end of our session, so we looked at some practice quiz problems from the online test. Compared to the end of the worksheet, they seemed simple and she seemed comfortable."

"We covered rate of changes. The student had hard time in recalling the formulas for derivatives, but the student know the materials very well. We did some of the practice problems together to review for the finals. "

"Today we continued learning the alphabet. The student was introduced to letter G-L (lower case and uppercase). After that, the student practiced learning the ABC order that included letter A-L. In addition, since she just added letter g-m to her alphabet letter, she is struggling to remember the ABC order. So she must practice them until next time we meet. If by next session she has learn letter A-L, then I will introduce the next 6 letters of the alphabet. The session was a success. That is due to the student having a positive attitude. "

"Working on Physics lab today. Went through the notes written on the lab, as well as the separate sheet of notes. We then emailed the teacher with a couple questions and copied a section of the lab asking him to review it. It took the student a little bit to get going, but he worked well after he got warmed up.
