"The student is preparing for next week's finals, so we reviewed example practice and word problems for chapter 4 in the text, with mainly exponent handling and solving basic algebraic equations. She will use the same practice regimen for chapter 5 as well. She is solid in computation, but needs to practice setting up problems. We did several problems with charts to help her do that; she showed improvement in understanding."

"For this meeting we worked on material related to the student's capstone project. We discussed how she wants to structure her study. I gave her an idea of different ways to operationalize her variables. Some of the time was spent interpreting an article as an example of analysis methods she might use."

"The majority of the session we spent reviewing for the Algebra state assessment. We continued the practice test questions from the last session. The student is showing improvement in her understanding and recollection of the material. She should continue practicing (during sessions and on her own when possible) to keep this up. When she has time, she should work on the practice test I sent to the student. The last half hour or so we reviewed for her test tomorrow. She felt fairly confident with the material. We covered topics including rotational symmetry and transformations. Best of luck!"

"The student has begun trigonometry. We reviewed the construction of sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, and cot in triangles. We worked several example problems using radians in angular systems, which he rightly approached as unit conversion questions. We spent the lion's share of the session on learning the unit circle and why it is so useful. By the end of the session, he was able to construct the first quadrant of the unit circle slowly, using logic when he couldn't remember values exactly. Next session should continue and deepen the use of the unit circle as well as touch on the uses of trig identities."

"We used diagnostic test to review the student's reading and verbal skills. I advised her to read carefully and narrow down the answers by excluding incorrect answers. If she narrows them down to two, she should go back and re-read the section. She is going to work on a math diagnostic test on her own today, and then if she needs another session, she will let me know. I think she should do well!"

"We reviewed concepts from last week, mainly optimization problems. Rather than finding extrema of a function, we used functions to define different expressions, such as the volume of a box or area of a rectangle, and attempted to optimize the area based on initial conditions and derivatives. Additionally, we worked on L'Hopital's rule with limits, and conditions for invoking said rule."

"The student did an amazing job today. We worked on math today. We reviewed most of the concepts on the practice test."

"Today was spent on math for test prep. The student did a good job moving through the material quickly, and he caught himself on the details more often than in the past few days. We worked on strategies to understand word and inequality problems when first looking at them. He seems to be increasingly confident about his work. I wish him luck tomorrow. Our work together these past few months has been satisfying and successful."

"The student and I reviewed for his upcoming exam on critical points / inflection points in calculus. We talked about visually identifying these points on graphs, plotting the functions on graphing calculators, and backing up the claims algebraically using the first and second derivative tests. "

"Today's session with the student went really well. We spent our time going over her review for her exam tomorrow. It covers dividing, simplifying, and factoring polynomials. She did very well. She had a great attitude, like always. She did very well on her chemistry exam last week. This makes me feel really good, as she didn't know how to do the problems before the exam."

"The student first finished his homework on angles and lines. Then we went over some topics that we covered previously, such as types and classification of triangles, using a protractor, and multiplying decimals. I requested that he bring his last math test home so we can go over what he did wrong and go over more decimals in the following session. He scored well on all angle and triangle work, and will also bring more quadrilateral work next time. I asked him to do some decimal division, and he did not get any answers right, so I will bring more division work with decimals next time as well."

"The student and I focused the majority of our time together on his upcoming history exam. The student really made progress understanding the key concepts and how they connect in the chapter. The student outlined an upcoming project related to the material. Overall, great work! "
