"The first student worked on problems that had to do with speed and units. These sorts of problems will give her an intuition for manipulating units in problems (which will be invaluable for chemistry) and also should make some of her trickier algebra problems easier. She learns quickly, but just needs some practice to excel in algebra. Neither the second student or I know what the next topic is after graphing (which we covered pretty well on Saturday) so I introduced him to the idea of imaginary numbers. In this introduction we talked about some of the properties of exponents, and some of the properties of the modulus operation. "

"Solving exponential and logarithmic equations and compound and simple interest problems. The student seemed to need work with the inverse property of logarithmic and exponential equations. I reviewed this specific property for the student and broke down what the theorem was "trying to say." "

"Today we spent more time on systems of equations in preparation for her upcoming exams. We looked over the student's practice test from last week and she scored a 68. Her goal is an 85. We are going to spend the next 11 sessions focusing on different topics, assigning homework about that topic as well as the ones preceding it, and setting a goal of taking at least five practice tests. She has more systems of equations homework this week."

"I worked with the student on two-step equations with fractions today. He seems to understand it, so I will continue working on the same material and will also practice with him on the steps. The second student and I reviewed inequalities with multiplication and division. We are working on remembering that a coefficient of a variable implies multiplication. I will continue helping him practice. At his mother's request, we will begin moving on to negative exponents, as well."

"I wrote some practice problems for the student to work on at the end of her session based in trouble spots I'd noticed in yesterday's session and from her tests. She is a very fast worker. I keep encouraging her to double- and triple- check her work, as she tends to make minor mistakes that mean the difference between letter grades in her final scores. We will keep working in that direction and drilling certain problems. "

"We reviewed decimals and fractions. The student correctly converted all practice/ review questions. We reviewed simple and long division and worked on "showing work" in a clear format, which will also help him to keep track of where he is at in the problem. We practiced multi-digit multiplication, and he did very well with this. I created a 0-9 multiplication chart that he can use to refer to when needed until he has all multiplication facts memorized."

"Today, I worked with the student, at the request of his father, who was concerned for his son's performance on an algebra quiz he would be taking on Monday. We had several homework assignments to review. None of it was to be graded, but it was nevertheless helpful for both him as practice and for me to understand what the teacher is looking for. We covered translating/moving linear functions up/down/left/right through algebraic expressions and through plotting new points. What was a bit more difficult for him was understanding how to work through questions asking about direct variation functions. Once I was able to show him how to work through them (I emphasized that these were not different from linear equations), he slowly started to understand how to use the common direct variation function template (y=kx) and use it to find the corresponding constant that could then be used to write out the equation. He understood what he needed to do and was able to work through the last two questions on this topic by himself. He was a great student. He remained focused and motivated."

"Today the student and I reviewed her Astronomy Excel spreadsheet and her College Algebra homework. For her College Algebra homework, we covered such topics as: imaginary numbers, using the quadratic equation, and finding the zeros of the function. She did really well with most of the topics but still needs a bit more work on imaginary numbers and factoring different cubes of functions. She has three questions left from the assignment we were working on, so she will get extra practice when she completes those problems. We will also continue to discuss them in our next session."

"We worked on recognizing patterns and creating formulas to represent what is occurring. This is new for this student, and he could recognize the patterns fine; it was just hard for him to write those in math terms. Even when he's unsure of things, he continues to have a good attitude. We worked on looking at the circumstances differently so that we could recognize what was happening. I think this session went well, and we'll see how well the new material sticks with him as he continues forward."

"Yesterday, the student and I met for the first time. We discussed what she is hoping to get out of these lessons. We went over chapter 3.3 and 3.4 for her upcoming quiz on the present subjunctive, for Spanish 2. It is an advanced course, so the material was dense, but not difficult to penetrate. We made flashcards for vocabulary and did drilling exercises. We went over what the subjunctive means conceptually. Then we reviewed chapter 3.4, namely subjunctive when used for sentences describing verbs of will. Then, we reviewed her homework, a crossword puzzle reviewing her vocabulary. I'm looking forward to meeting with her again."

"The student and I reviewed the work she did on her own in her SAT practice book, and then we focused on covering as many questions as possible in our time together. I recommended that she attempt another practice section later that night and look at the explanations in the back of the book. She should also do another few the next day before the exam to practice using her time and moving through the sections as quickly and efficiently as possible."
