"The student has been learning in class about different ways to represent sets of data effectively. Together we worked on his homework that dealt mainly with frequency tables. He had an easy time setting up the tables and filling out the data, but took a little longer analyzing what the data meant in context. We reviewed terms he had to be familiar with, which included joint, marginal, and relative frequency. Overall he had a good idea about what he was doing, but I could tell that sitting down to do extra practice really cemented the material. I also had the student work through a few problems involving the Pythagorean Theorem since he had to make up a quiz on that topic. He was able to fully understand the concept after doing a couple problems together and then was able to complete them correctly on his own."

"The student and I worked on a number of multiple choice AP exam questions from a review book in preparation for his AP exam. He did well on most of these, but needed to better remember certain theorems applicable to the questions. We will meet again on Sunday. "

"He just finished his test on ratios and word problems. He told me he was having trouble with tough word problems and proportions so we took a look at some practice worksheets. Together, we went through tricky word problems, and I was able to answer some of his difficulties. "

"First we reviewed the definition of translations, rotations, and reflections. The student was able to define/ explain each. Then we worked mainly on translations within the coordinate grid. We reviewed the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of a hypotenuse given the units of 2 sides of a right triangle. We worked on the composition theorem, determining 2 rigid movements within the plane. We also defined and worked with preimages and images relating to translations."

"We went over a set of review problems in preparation for an upcoming test. The topic was polar coordinates of real and complex numbers. There were certain concepts and rules that I either explained or reinforced. In some cases, there was some training in skills to translate the language of word problems into mathematical statements (this is a challenge area for a lot of students!). The student is a bright student who picks things up quickly and should do well on the test."

"We did the student's quiz corrections. A lot of the questions were simplifying equations. We had to go over the concepts of adding exponents when you add, and subtracting them when you divide. I included the strategy of breaking down all of the steps, so we can catch our mistakes if any, such as combining like terms that are negative and positive. "

"The student and I discussed significance tests. We were setting up hypotheses, choosing an alpha, and commenting on Type I and II errors that can be made. I sent her a graphic organizer that I created in Excel. She seemed receptive to what I was sharing, and I gave her some practice problems from the question bank online. We also previewed a question about what she will be seeing in the near future. She told me she received a 92% on her last test covering confidence intervals."

"I met with the student, who is taking Algebra I. We spent the first part of the session working with piecewise functions and graphing them. We worked with plotting points, knowing when to draw an infinite line and which functions are continuous. We then moved to workbook pages, which involved graphing and creating functions in a distance/time context, working specifically with a range of distance at a certain time given varying speeds of travel. She seems to be a very bright, engaged student. She has a good grasp of math concepts and seems to intuitively know where to begin with a new problem. She was nice and attentive, and I enjoyed working with her. "

"The student and I worked on her math. She is working on converting fractions into decimals and percentages. She seems to be getting the hang of it! Hopefully she will continue to grasp the subjects in math; she is doing so well. We also continued to read Ready Player One. There are lots of new words for her to learn, and I am encouraging her to stop and engage with the words she is unfamiliar with rather than skimming over them."

"We reviewed vocabulary words, synonyms, and nouns. We also worked on a civics game and spent most of the hour practicing reading aloud. The student stumbles over certain words, and I am trying to figure out if there is a particular pattern to her errors. It might just be a need to build vocabulary and confidence. We will continue to work on this. She had a great attitude and especially liked playing the civics game. "

"We practiced combining like terms, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations on simple equations, factoring second order equations, multiplying polynomials, and square roots. She is gaining confidence in assessing and executing the needed operations, she just needs more practice to hone a useful level of skills. We will need to work on word problems at the next session.
