"The student was struggling with equation solving last session, so that was the first thing we went over. She figured it out quickly this session. We then went over how equations correlated to lines on a graph and converting slope intercept equations into standard form. I discussed finding the slope of the equation and y-intercept. Overall, the session was very successful. Once she began to understand solving equations, all the other concepts went by quickly."

"I went through the process with him of solving and graphing inequalities. We looked at how similar it is to solving equations, first using the additive inverse and then the multiplicative inverse to isolate the variable. I showed him how the variable should be on the left side of the inequality, so that the graph will point in the same direction as the pointy end of the inequality symbol. We also looked at the reason you don't want a negative variable, since that is really signifying the opposite of the variable. This concept supports why, when isolating the variable by multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the direction of the symbol reverses. If negative, the variable's coefficient could originally be seen as being multiplied by negative one, so you were originally looking at the opposite relationship. Once the variable has been isolated from the negative one and becomes positive, the relationship reverses. I think he got it. We did a few online practice problems, and I left him with some notes. I also advised him to practice and review on his own. "

"Today, we covered sections 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3. The student had a quiz on Chapter 10 today, so he did not have much opportunity to study ahead (into Chapter 11). The topics covered skeleton equation, catalysts, balanced chemical equation, balancing chemical equation, aqueous solution, reactivity, five types of chemical reactions, and, net ionic equation. In terms of problem-solving, we focused heavily on balancing chemical equations. In doing so, we had to review older material from his class, which included complex ions and charges of the ions. These were materials he had to memorize in the past, but he had forgotten a number of them. By next Monday, Louie will have read all of 11.1, 11.2, and 11.3, and have done questions on the back of the textbook. He will bring questions."

"We covered a chapter from the student's textbook regarding the History of Earth and Life. Through this, we went over how scientists found out about Earth's history and the evolution of life through the different eras and periods. We went over all the key concepts and key questions to ensure that the student had a good understanding of them. We also went over key words such as the different eras and the types of patterns seen in macroevolution. The student is ahead of schedule in accordance with her course and is much better at answering the key concept questions. She is able to recognize and recall the information much faster and better."

"First, we worked on preparing the student for a test on the first two acts of Julius Caesar. I had selected some passages and some questions to go with them, and we read them together and discussed the play, its characters, and the theme of fate/ destiny. Then we worked through a portion of the math questions in the practice test."

"Topics discussed with Student A: Ohm's law, circuits (series, parallel and combination), and equivalent resistance for parallel and series resistors. Topics discussed with Student B: trigonometry introduction, SOHCAHTOA (sine, cosine, and tangent), and the Pythagorean theorem."

"The student and I worked on adding and subtracting decimals. She is able to independently solve problems, but continues to need support with solving word problems. We also looked at a few problems for assessment test practice. I am going to teach her a new concept to help her with her assessment test. "

"We covered matrices for the student's quiz tonight. The student caught on very well to adding and subtracting matrices, but we had to look closer at multiplication of two matrices. After going over her math, the student had a great understanding of how they work. I think she will do great on her quiz tomorrow!"
