"Today was my first session with this student. We talked about the paper, picked a topic, reviewed the requirements, found 2 sources, and made an outline. She is going to read the articles and write the paper by our next session on Sunday."

"We covered a wide range of different algebra problems that the student was having a hard time understanding. I helped explain to her the correct order of operations to follow and how to approach word problems involving compound interest. I explained to her the way I remember the Order of Operations is PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction. She also had a few questions regarding the buttons on the graphing calculator that I also helped her identify."

"The student was working on factoring. She had completed one page of her homework, but was having problems factoring the equations where the leading coefficient was not 1. She likes to use her calculator, but is not allowed to do so on this chapter. We did the first few problems with the calculator, then I had her complete the rest of the problems without it. She was doing much better towards the end. We also discussed how to solve for x. "

"The student worked on his math homework. I reviewed the concepts in his textbook with him and showed him two ways to approach ratio problems. He preferred the simplification method shown in his book so we focused on using that method consistently. We also explored some of the learning tools online that came with his new book. We then spent the remaining time reviewing fractions as he still struggles with that subject in math. We reviewed the rules of fractions, when to find the least common denominator, and how to add/ subtract, multiply/ divide, and use variables with fractions."

"We covered hydraulic expansions and examined the mathematical functions dictating it. The student is very quick to pick up the concepts discussed and will excel once he overcomes the learning curve he faces from not having a background working with calculus."

"In today's session, the student finished review for his math test tomorrow. I am hoping the review we did today will be sufficient for the test tomorrow, and continued independent practice is recommended."

"The student and I practiced with adding and multiplying numbers mixed with variables today. This was good for her to do, as she needed a bit of clarification on some of the properties at play. She caught on to the patterns quickly, and did a good job getting through her work. She has a math quiz tomorrow that I think she and I are both confident that she will perform well in. After reviewing key words and properties, she did very well with all her work."

"The student wanted to continue our work on exponents. After our review, I also encouraged him to more thoroughly study them on his own. In our session, we worked through a series of problems with increasing complexity. "

"The student and I started working in the test practice book. The first concept was writing and interpreting numerical expressions. There were many math vocabulary words we reviewed (expressions, evaluating, quotient, etc.). I was able to talk with him about multiple choice question strategies as well as taking his thought process deeper on the question he was answering. His interest seemed high and he was engaged the whole time. His current unit in school is subtracting mixed numbers. "

"The student and I read for 30 minutes. We recapped what was read in each of the paragraphs. We completed a couple pages in the math assignment for the week. He did well in the hour we worked together. I've noticed he needs a 5-10 second stretch break which allows him to refocus every now and then. "

"During this session, we looked at how to find the critical points of a multivariable function given a constraint equation. We went through the process of finding the new equation involving our constraint and a constant, lambda, and how we can then take the partial derivatives to set up a system of equations. We discussed that this method is a way we can do optimization problems involving more than two variables as well. It was a productive session. By the end, we looked mainly at how to set up the problems from the word prompt, as the student could already successfully do the math once it was set up. "
