"We worked for two hours on graphing functions, especially fractions with polynomials. We also worked on inverse functions and composites of multiple functions. We also talked about even and odd functions, one-to-one functions, and the horizontal and vertical line tests. We also graphed functions finding the range and domain, the asymptotes, and holes on the graph. We also learned how to determine points on a graph where the function was increasing and decreasing."

"Today we covered graphing polar coordinates and reviewed for a test that the student has on Monday. Overall, she is doing well with this topic. We worked through the notes and homework she had and addressed issues as we went. At the end, I spent a few minutes verbally quizzing her on the content. She has 2 days of review in class to solidify everything."

"The student had class today, and she learned about graphing multiple inequalities and solving a system of inequalities through graphing. This material came easily to her, as has most of the chapter on inequalities. We went over an absolute-value word problem that she completed with ease. In going through her homework this session, most of the problems about inequalities or absolute values were simple for her. We started reviewing fraction properties and will continue with these fundamental algebra skills next session as well as incorporating other review material."

"We reviewed division with remainders and subtraction with regrouping. We then read a nonfiction story about Labor Day. We discussed vocabulary, asked comprehension questions, and inferred answers from passage. "

"Today we briefly went over strategies for the reading passages. The student wants to work primarily on math, which is her most challenging section. She hasn't had time to work on sections on her own, and without previous scores it's still tough for me to estimate her starting level in the critical reading and writing sections. Based on her work in the math section, I estimate her starting around 400-500 with potential to get closer to the 600 range. She doesn't have a lot of math confidence and has trouble starting problems, but she knows how to solve at least half of the problems if I get her started. We spent most of the lesson today on math, and we finished the content review for the blue book. We will start going though the more thorough review next time."

"The student and I reviewed some topics that was covered on a quiz. We first began with conditional statements by defining the components of conditional statements and memorizing the four different types of conditional statements. We discussed the laws of syllogism and detachment and their relevance to proof generation. We covered the different properties of equality and learned to use them first in algebraic proofs and then in geometric ones. Next, we discussed two intuitive yet important postulates that would be used in basic proofs, the segment and angle addition postulates. We also talked about the congruence theorem and saw that measures could be equal but entities can only be congruent. Lastly, we defined some common definitions such as the midpoint, right angles, perpendicular lines, linear pairs, and right angles"

"We went over problems the student had missed from his quizzes that were covering the same topics as an upcoming test. In particular, we discussed rationalizing the denominator of ratios containing complex numbers or containing sums of square roots, the conjugate of a complex number, and putting quadratics into vertex form. We spent most of our time working on quadratics and, after working through several problem, he seemed to be comfortable with the process of writing a quadratic in vertex form. Also related to quadratics, we discussed what sorts of information can and cannot be gleaned from the different forms of writing a quadratic and how to shade regions for various quadratic inequalities."

"The student and I studied for his science, language arts, and social studies finals. We completed his science study guide, and he feels prepared for his final. We then covered more examples of his LA exam by identifying different parts of a sentence. I suggested trying to find the subject of the sentence first by identifying the nouns and that seemed to help. Lastly, we studied his social studies. He understood the concepts from his study guide. "

"In this session, we went over rated rates problems, as well as linearization. While the student understood the process to solve for linearization, he had trouble visualizing the concept, so I showed him how to derive it! For related rates, he had no trouble with his assigned problems, so I gave him some extra hard problems. While he did struggle with these a little, I believe that in the process of going over them, he really understands how to solve them!"

"We went over some of the basic ideas of what each section on the test will be testing and what the questions will look like, using the provided test outline as a sample. In terms of the first and second sections, the student's biggest struggle will likely just be mental math and not making mistakes. It will help her that it is multiple choice, so if she does it wrong it may not be a possible answer. We did some of the provided practice questions and some questions from her hard word problems book to get her in the mindset of looking at questions differently."

"Both students and I covered populations from an ecological standpoint. We talked about how populations grow, demography, the factors that affect growth, and some of the different growth models. After covering ecology, we moved on to review some cell biology and mitosis material before wrapping up our session. The content we reviewed for ecology wasn't very extensive, so they both definitely built a solid foundation of it and were able to answer questions and provide examples. I was glad to see the sister improved her test grade after our first session and I am confident that her brother will do the same. We should be able to fit in another couple of sessions before the final so I'm excited to help them cover any material they've struggled with so far. "
