"In today's session with the student, I covered algebra methods involving mixed fractions and negative signs. I went over several examples where I explained step-by-step solution and answered her questions to clarify any questions she had. She absorbed the material quickly once she understood. I then also helped her with integer problems both as number problems and word problems. I provided her with different examples involving different signs. Then I let her solve several practice problems and then we discussed the solutions. Overall, she is making progress and our session went well and was productive."

"In this session, we mainly focused on integrals and different processes that can be used to solve them. The student had a very positive attitude, trying to figure out problems on her own, and if she couldn't she asked questions. She did well working with the integrals and seeing her understanding of the different processes improve throughout the session. We talked about a few strategies for test taking."

"Good to see the student again. During this session, we worked on the student's Chemistry and his algebra. This involved a mix of stoichiometry and thermodynamics. We addressed a few of the student's concerns in Math. The student is doing well. We will see each other again soon. Good stuff!"

"We picked up where we left off, and the student worked his way through the rest of his assignment. I reinforced the value of drawing pictures of what the problem asked for and also had him refer back to his textbook as we worked through the problems so that he could more readily look up the information on his own, if needed, later on. We covered basic probability problems during our first session today and moved on to the probability distribution functions and the standard normal distribution. Many of the second session problems involved using z-tables."

"We worked on homework, which covered the derivatives of the trigonometric functions. We began the evening with a review of the unit circle since problems dealing with 0, 30, 45, 60, 90 angles should be known without a calculator. Homework problems involved both the new trigonometric derivatives along with the power rule, addition/subtraction rule, and product/quotient rule. The student picked up the relationships very quickly and will need to study them prior to her upcoming quiz she will take on Monday to ensure she has them memorized."

"During this session, we reviewed for a test. The basic topics of integral calculus were discussed, including properties of definite integrals, calculating the area between two curves, and u substitutions. We also reviewed some basic algebra rules."

"We went over more algebra 2 concepts, including three unit quizzes. We also went through our first exam and the student did an awesome job! I've already noticed much improvement in his understanding and practice with the material. He catches on very fast to all my comments and anything that he may struggle with at first. Overall, I see this session as a great win!"

"We discussed the general theory of integration, including the fundamental theorem of calculus, average value/accumulation, and "area under the curve"; then we worked through example problems. We concluded with a discussion of Riemann sum approximation and the use of Riemann sums and limits to construct a more rigorous integral. We also had a brief preview of change of variables/u-substitution."

"The student covered his newest POW and homework sets. He is currently working on converting equations from standard form to slope-intercept form (and back), and how to solve systems of equations in both forms. He needed guidance a little with understanding why this skill is important, and doesn't easily make connections between solving these using algebra vs solving via graphs. He knows how to solve the problems, however, so in future sessions we can work more with the conceptual side of things."

"The student has a quiz coming up on scientific notation and exponential algebra. We looked at problems in his book that were in the form given in his review worksheet. He understands the basics of exponential algebra from what I could see. We did a pair of applied scientific notation problems. He needed a few pushes in the right direction, but once he saw them both he said he felt like he got it better. I assigned him four problems from his book's chapter 6 on solving systems of equations so he can review that concept as well. We will meet again this Sunday to reinforce this material."

"We reviewed solving fraction-based word problems. Also, I taught how to divide a bigger number by a single digit number. The students had a little bit of difficulty with one or two word problems. I have left a package to the students to practice, and we will review this next time."
