"The student and I worked on preparing for her math exam on March 6. The concepts that we covered all had to do with calculating complex probabilities. She had a very good understanding of this material. As always, it was a very productive session, and I sincerely look forward to meeting with her again soon."

"The student's class took the free response practice tests during the last couple of classes and she says she was able to get at least partial credit on both the calculator and non-calculator permitted questions. There were a couple of problems that she wasn't as confident about so we went through some practice problems that were similar. We reviewed position, velocity, and acceleration functions using both an equation and a table, focusing on the types of questions that could be asked about this type of information. We also looked at differentiating an equation and finding both the general solution and a specific solution. We made sure to focus on being able to visualize or describe a situation to determine what methods we would need to use to answer the question. She was able to use both Fundamental Theorems of Calculus, the average values for integrals and derivatives, optimization, and Rolle's Theorem to answer various parts of the free response practice questions.

"Today the student and I covered the key principles of the number line, with the primary focus on negative numbers. We did a detailed overview of how to recognize keywords that can be used to identify negative results in a word problem, the major differences between positive and negative numbers, and the meaning of terms like, subtracted from, reduced by, added to, and increased by. We also reviewed the greater than and less than symbols and their proper placement in mathematical expressions. Her attitude toward the material reviewed and the session in general remains positive. "

"During today's session, the student and I covered the beginning topics from Chapter 4 including: How to identify critical points, the first and second derivative rules, graphing a function and the first and second derivative, and answering some other questions she had. To get the material ingrained in his memory, I've emphasized lots of practice. I will send her some practice graphing problems and encourage her to keep going! She is doing a great job learning the material. "

"The student and I went through all of his review work, covering how to factor quadratic equations, change general forms to vertex forms, find the domain/range/vertex of a parabolic function, and other related topics. He generally understands the underlying concept but tries to rush through and makes minor errors that later lead him to the incorrect answer. We will continue to address this. I left him with a few more practice problems to complete on his own. He was quite focused and on task."

"Student A and I reviewed and he completed math homework on same/ change/ flip (dividing fractions). Student B and I read chapter 13 of book Student C and I worked on r- controlled vowels, all 3 poems, the Pig In Pit story, and her spelling words."

"During this session, the student's mother asked me to help him review for a social studies test he would be soon taking. We watched a lesson he had been assigned on his Chromebook and discussed the information presented. I quizzed him on the content as we viewed the lesson. I also helped him memorize the states and their capitals and locate states on a US map."

"We warmed up with addition flashcards and a multiplication fact sheet. The student said the multiplication sheet (on 7's) seemed easier this time. Then we reviewed more on percents and the percent equation, using the percent equation to find percents or to find the whole when given a percent and a number as part of the whole. We also reviewed percent changes and discounts in the form of word problems. I had prepared some worksheets on these concepts and we did a couple from each worksheet. I assigned him some additional problems to do on his own. "
