"We spent the first 20 minutes of our session discussing her progression through this semester; what topics she understood, where and when she started to struggle, how many quizzes and tests remain, her opinion about the textbook, and preferred learning style. Her results from the learning style assessment showed her to be very neutral, with very slight preferences toward visual versus verbal explanation and sensing (fact based learning) rather than intuitive (discovering relationships) learning.
Based on the topics discussed, it looks like this semester is devoted to Chapters 2 - 4 in her text: Ratios, Polynomials, Factoring, Quadratics, Complex Numbers, Functions (current topic), Graphing (current topic), and potentially sequences, series, and conic sections. Part 1 of functions is where her challenges began and since the subsequent lessons have built upon this foundation she hasn't been able to catch up just yet.
While her most recent lesson was on exponential functions and graphing them, we took a step back to graphing linear functions and solving for their inverses first. I wanted to see her basic understanding of what a function is and how it can be manipulated. We then reviewed function compositions and subsequently moved onto exponential functions. We only had time to discuss their basic shape, and we walked through 4 major rules for how the value of an exponential functions' base or its exponent dictates its direction of flow. I gave her 3 practice problems from her textbook to complete before our next session on solving for an exponential function equation, finding a composition, and graphing two exponential functions. "

"Worked with the student on pre-calculus and physics. In physics, worked on two-equation acceleration and velocity problems. Just needed to understand that not all problems can be done in one equation or step. Worked with trigonometry word problems in pre-calculus. Has a good understanding of the material."

"We went over various topics that were included on a review for his exam. These topics include the fundamental theorem of calculus, linear approximation, maximizing and minimizing functions and finding the average value of a function. The student is making steady progress in his understanding of the subject areas as well as his ability to apply certain concepts. "
