"Tonight the student worked on homework for math that had problems about equations and inequalities. We also did some prep for the next exam. He has been able to bring his grade up in math from a 72 and 80. His teachers are very impressed with his progress!"

"The student and I continued to go through previous assignments. We worked on various transformations of points and figures, including reflecting over axes, rotating about the origin, and translations. She had difficulty visualizing movements about the coordinate plane and spatially reasoning through some of the transformations, so we tried other methods for completing the problems. We determined that she is best able to complete these types of problems by listing the coordinates involved and performing computations on them based on heuristic rules for the various transformations - she was much more comfortable with this method than a more traditional, spatial approach. After making that adjustment, she had a much easier time getting through the assignments we worked on. There are certain problem types that require more spatial reasoning, but if she can ground the problem in pieces that she knows how to do, she is more likely to be able to work through them."

"We covered the student's review, including supplementary/complementary angles, angle bisectors, conditional statements, vertical angles, properties of triangles, related conditionals, properties of equality, parallel and perpendicular lines, properties of points, lines and planes, distance formula, midpoint formula, slope of lines, equation of lines, and intercepts. The student's final is on Friday."

"We covered calculations and graphing with straight lines. The student knew most of the concepts, but we had to go over the minority that he wasn't familiar with. He had a good attitude toward the material. I instructed him to make sure to take enough space on the page for graphs and to write out formulas. We also stressed that accuracy is better if equations are solved step by step, without trying to jump ahead too quickly. And, we talked about the need to watch out for getting the correct sign."

"The student and I started learning the topics his class is about to start: histograms, frequency tables, mean, median, and mode. We spent the first part of the session reading histograms and solving word problems. He has become faster with his mental math and general confidence. "

"This was our first meeting in a few weeks. We started the session reading "We Are All Here." She started off strong, reading the first couple pages very quickly, then faded fast, asking to buddy read. We compromised, and agreed that we would play "Spot It" and do some work with the Bananagrams before finishing the chapter. Overall it was a good session."

"The student had some math work to do. She has a test next week. Now that finals are over she is back to the sequence unit. This is a hard unit in general, and she is struggling a bit. I reviewed the core concepts and she seemed to recall that, but she will need to practice more so she can remember the process come test day. I also helped her study for a history exam. She did fairly well with this material. I made a list of terms/concepts to focus on the back of her note packet. "

"We began by going over a packet of questions that the student has due in her Biology class tomorrow. She had already completed most of it but needed a little help with two questions covering trophic levels and niches. After that, we returned our focus to Chapter 17, where we worked through the review questions of Section 3 by filling out a few comparison charts. I also worked with the student to help her begin memorizing the vocabulary for this chapter. Overall, it was a productive session and the student had a more positive and focused attitude than usual.
