"We worked on rational polynomials, and reducing them to more manageable pieces. We also covered graphing of rational polynomials including all tree types of asymptotes, holes, zeros, etc. I broke them up into three cases, depending on the degree of the numerator vs degree of the polynomial, and we utilized calculus thinking (limits) to derive their properties from first concepts. The student responded well to this approach and seemed to come away with a better understanding. He has a good attitude and seems to struggle mostly when he doesn't understand the origins of the methods he is learning. We will work on that in future sessions."

"The student and I started a new topic yesterday- geometry. The lesson and the homework revolved around applying newly learned definitions of vertex, ray, line, line segment, congruent, and plane. The student felt that this was easy for him, which is a good sign! He understood all the terms well, and we practiced pointing out things in the room for each definition. I think he was best able to think of the difference between lines and line segments as the former having arrows on each end and the latter having no arrows. He had fun being creative with a final problem we did from the book which required him to draw a certain number of points, rays, lines, and line segments in one picture. "

"I met the student this evening. He's a very bright and fun loving young man. We corrected wrong answers on an exam for remediation and began his new topic of graphing triangles by determining slope, y intercept, and line segment distance. "

"We reviewed for the student's test on Tuesday; some of the concepts were functions vs relations, finding solutions of a line, and finding the slope given two points. His next session will be on Monday in order to better help him prepare. "

"The student had recently had a quiz over the latter half of chapter 5 in his math class. We began by reviewing this material. This mainly dealt with percents. He was getting the strategies to use with percent/ fractions/ ratios confused. We reviewed this material until he could correctly complete various percent and rate conversion problems out of his book and other ones I created for him without prompts. We also reviewed an assignment and I helped him study for his next quiz over chapter 6 lessons 1-3. This material dealt with basic inequalities and numberlines. It was easy material that he picked up quickly and did not struggle with at all. I anticipate he will do well on this next quiz. "

"The student read Pete the Cat by Kimberly and James Dean. She read with inflection and was able to predict what would happen next. She then read Paddywack by Stephanie Spinner ( a level 3 ). She was able to answer when questions and talk about her favorite characters. She then drew a picture of her favorite character. "

"The student and I chatted a bit about her background in Calculus as a starting point to understand what she is having trouble with and how we might approach these points. We worked through some example problems from a practice packet that the student's teacher had provided. There were certain rules and tricks involving algebra that we reviewed as part of these problems, in the hopes that going over them will help reinforce algebra, which she identified early as one of the areas she wanted to work on. We also went over some test strategies and which kinds of problems to prioritize on the actual test, given the time limit. We will continue to work on example problems as a way of reviewing relevant concepts and introducing new studying and test-taking strategies."

"The student moved through his Math homework very well. He is a good student; we just need to make sure he is completing his assignments. I gave him a number of additional problems to work on for his extra credit, to be done before our next session. He responded by saying he would go ahead and complete ALL the extra credit instead. :)"
