"We continued to work on 7th grade geometry. We watched a couple assessment videos about complimentary and supplementary angles and how to find unknown angles using various tricks. We reviewed workbook pages, finding vertical angles and naming angles based on word problem descriptions. "

"After reviewing the basics of quadratic equations we went over factoring. I had the student work a few basic factoring problems for review before starting to teach him how to factor polynomials. He had not done any factoring of polynomials in his class yet. He had just had a test over the basics of quadratics and did well. "

"We worked on finding the common denominator and comparing fractions and questions on area. Extra practice was given on common denominators and multi step equations involving common denominators. This was the student's first exposure to common denominators, and she grasped the idea fairly well. She just needs more practice on common denominators."

"This is a really smart student; she just needed a good tutor. I covered matrices, quadratic formula and factoring. I gave her specific strategies to be able to factor quick and easy. I asked several times if she had questions and she expressed that she understood everything clearly and that it is much easier once she puts the strategies into practice. I enjoyed working with her and I know she will do great."

"I went over the student's notes with him. We made corrections and finished the example problems. I showed him how to read the chart: it goes from top to bottom for 0-45 degrees and then bottom to top from 45-90 degrees. I helped him with a selection of problems from his worksheets and corrected errors. I showed him how to calculate trig and inverse trig functions with his calculator. We also looked ahead briefly at section 8.5."

"Today the student worked on a homework assignment and test prep to get ready for her upcoming exam. She worked on solving for the area and circumferences of circles and the area and perimeter of rectangles. She had some difficulty on the problems that combined concepts involving both circles and rectangles, but that is understandable because those were the hardest parts of the homework. It doesn't seem like they have done a lot of work on algebra problems so one thing that we need to work on going forward is making sure that she gets more comfortable with her algebra skills."

"We went over the student's test review, and they solved practice problems. They have a test on Friday covering adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing mixed fractions. Both students understood the material. "

"The student got back a couple of tests. We went over the corrections on the Earth Science test. Then, we discussed what he is learning in his other classes. On Friday, we will study the Cold War together, which is what they are learning in his Global class. "

"The student continues to do better every week, but this week, we focused on making him carry out difficult simultaneous equations by himself. Given the earlier holes in his background with regard to simple arithmetic of fractions, the student tends to approach hard numerical problems with a tint of fear. So, to address that fear, we did over 30 problems, and slowly but surely, the student gained confidence in solving the different types of simultaneous equations. The strategy to choose elimination or substitution requires seeing in advance which one would give you fewer numerical operations on the way to the solution. Thus, we worked on how the student would strategize to minimize the time required per problem. By the end of the session, he was able to solve, by himself, a pair of simultaneous equations involving 2 variables under 1 minute. "

"We went over the student's past test. The student did very well and knew the material. We used the second hour to review "completing the square" and the quadratic equation worksheet. He has a quiz tomorrow and did very well on the worksheet. Once again, he understands the material. It was a very good session, and he said he felt confident about his quiz!"

"The student had another worksheet involved with the concepts of intersecting chords, tangent segments, and secant segments of a circle. Some involved real-life applications of circle concepts. The student was successful at solving a number of problems where solving a linear or quadratic equation was required. The student did a good job completing the assignment. "
