She practiced solving radicals that matched the degree of their radicands. I then introduced her to how to multiply and divide radicals. She also practiced solving problems with these concepts.

We continued working on some complex word problem inequalities. The student was struggling with understanding what aspects of the word problem are necessary for the question. The student also needed to be taught volume and 3 dimensional shapes since the problems called for it. I taught him about volume and how three dimensional structures should be analyzed. I also encouraged him to look at problems in a step by step way. I did encourage him to do all future homework without a calculator to develop faster math skills.
