"In this session, we went over fractions, exponents, solving linear equations, solving systems of equations, solving and graphing inequalities, solving and graphing systems of inequalities, and function inverses. We spent most of the time reviewing inverses and fractions as she was struggling with this the most. I left her with several worksheets on some other subjects that we did not have time to get to. She was handling almost all of the material very well."

"The student had two packets of review material. One covered translations and enlargements, which he had not learned yet. From that packet, I helped him go over as much of the material as he understood. The other packet involved enlargements of lines and areas, which he understood fairly well."

"The student completed online problems associated with volume and surface areas of solids and the Pythagorean theorem. She also completed several order of operations problems. "

"This log is for three sessions. [11/17] Student 1 had a quiz the following day as well as a worksheet. We got through the assignment pretty quickly, and he had little trouble when we reviewed. [11/18] Student 2 had now moved on to the elimination method. This was more difficult for him, as there were more locations for errors, in having to subtract or add negatives. He understands the method; he just needs to be careful. We also reviewed the substitution method. [11/20] Student 1 is now working on percentages and was given a worksheet to complete. After explaining each section, he was able to complete them with little problem. I also taught him some tricks and shortcuts to help him solve some problems faster."

"In this session, we reviewed the student's notes and worked practice problems from older topics. I left him with some general questions to answer as he looks over his notes again for the next session."

"Today, we worked on labs pertaining to kinetic energy, potential energy, and spring energy. The student maintained a positive attitude throughout the session. I included strategies to simplify these concepts."

"In this session, we went over some broad topic questions to prepare for the student's final. The focus today was to get a foundation for the types of questions that the final might have and the tools that will be needed to answer those questions. We started working on relating concepts across many types of questions, using specific examples to support arguments and providing full answers that address every aspect of a question. At the beginning of the session, the student had a bit of a rough time thinking in broad enough terms, but as we went, on he warmed up to the material and began to discuss the material in a productive and analytical manner. During our next session, we will do some more review and some practice questions."

"The student worked on her algebra software. She had a review session where she was given an algebra problem and completed it. Once she was done with each problem an instructional set was included which reviewed the subject matter. This happened for five problems until the session went back to regular problem solving. We also worked on a practice test for multiplication of polynomials, finding volume with three sets of polynomials, finding area using polynomials and being very careful in combining like terms. Excellent session."

"I spent some time with Student A working on taking notes and how to study new math topics. We were working on irrational numbers and the square root as the inverse of the square. She was able to identify irrational numbers and estimate square roots. Student B is working on an application worksheet on exponential growth and population estimation. We were able to draw on the connection between solving linear equations by graphing to solve systems of exponential functions."

"We continued our work on factors and multiples from last week and practiced translations that the student is working on in class. He is still struggling with multiplication but seems to understand larger concepts. I have taught him short cuts and quirky sayings to remember the material. We will continue to work on multiplication. "

"The focus for this session was reading. The student read a couple of fiction texts with a focus on comprehension and decoding. We practiced determining the author's message and explaining why that message fits the story. We also practiced making connections based on her favorite part in the story. All and all, she did very well. We will continue to work on these concepts during our next session. "
