"Reviewed calculating the areas of composite shapes in preparation for an upcoming test. Created variations of completed review problems for the student to work on."

"The student and I focused primarily on Critical Reading this session. Her timing has improved a great deal."

"The student and I spent the session doing her homework. It was more problems than usual, but she did great. We worked on factorial pairs and prime factorials mostly. This required reviewing long division and the multiplication tables. We used the rules for divisibility a lot. We put those up on a whiteboard so we could easily reference them throughout the session. We used the RAMPS method her class uses. The assignment was long, and the word problems were at the end. Next time, I think we will start with the word problems because those take the most mental energy."

"The student and I worked on math today. We focused on our 2s by playing hopscotch. She had a little difficulty with the upper numbers (skip counting by the number boxes), but I could see improvement by the end of the session. We may continue to use this method, but I would like to try my matching game next week and see which is more effective. Good job!!"

"Today's homework assignment was on the topic of arithmetic sequences. The student's class had already reviewed the basics of this topic. She seemed to already have a good grasp on the relevant ideas, so we started with the problems from her homework. She was given a word problem and asked to write out a sequence from the sentences. I was impressed at how organized she was in writing out a table to organize all the terms. She was also asked to graph the sequence, which she was able to do . She is also very good with mental math calculations without using a calculator. She received a 93% on her last test in her algebra class because on a few problems she interpreted the graphs incorrectly. She was able to immediately tell me why her problems were wrong, so we did not do a more thorough review of these topics. "

"The student is really working well during our sessions. Today we worked on parts of the semester-long PBA assignment that she has for her Social History class. The project has several milestone deadlines throughout the semester. We spent the beginning part of the session working on more relevant sources for her Red Scare essay for the PBA; we did a lot of the searching on J-Stor. We also determined a few books that she'll need to request from the library. Next we turned our attention to the book that she has called "Homeward Bound," and how we could use it for her essay. I marked some pages that would be relevant for her to refer to for future reading. Then we spent 20 minutes for her to read a specific Red Scare chapter that we found on J-Stor, and I had her type notes on the important parts that she felt would be helpful for the essay."

"We continued reviewing the written portion of the student's math project. We then worked on her persuasive essay. She had really great ideas of what to write."

"We completed our review sheet on integrals and their applications. The student had a positive attitude throughout the session. I included strategies to simplify certain problems, but the student had a firm understanding of the material."

"We covered potential and potential energy. We pushed the envelope a bit in solving problems that required calculus and vector analysis. I also provided additional suggestions for problems and studying. "

"We covered how we should best approach the student's midterm, set up future dates, and penciled in other dates in case they let her break the midterm up. We discussed the proctoring of her midterm as well as teacher feedback on her questions about the exam. We also reviewed modules 4 and 5. We will be meeting again on Monday to start the review for her midterm."

"We went into a lot of detail concerning an upcoming methods paper. We talked through how to collect data to get data appropriate to your research interests. We talked about how to choose a statistical test appropriate to your data and how to interpret the analytic results. I helped her develop a dummy data set for the hypothetical results section."
