"Completed challenge problems. Topics included a Singapore bar model problem involving proportions, finding a pattern in the sum of the digits of all the counting numbers in a given range, the number of degrees between the hands of a clock at a given time, a probability calculation combined with visualizing cube that has been divided into 64 smaller cubes, and a combinatorics problem."

"We reviewed exponents, logarithms, and conic sections in preparation for his upcoming final exam. The student seemed to get most of the material. I left him with some pointers on test taking, tips on formulas to remember, and general good wishes on his exam."

"The student was continuing to review for his final exam. For this session, we focused mostly on graphing. We worked on graphing linear functions, linear inequalities, and quadratic functions. Again, he was a little rusty, but picked it back up quickly. I think he is in very good shape for his final. "

"On Sunday, the student and I focused on electric fields, which I initially detected to be a weak area for him, in preparation for his midterm exam today. He was focused and on the ball and seemed to have a firm grasp on the topic by the close of our session. I gave him a few follow-up problems from his textbook to practice to solidify his new learning."

"The student and I began reading his book "Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry." We went over ways for him to take notes as he reads the book so that his book report will be easier to write. I taught him how to write character analyses for each major character and how to recognize themes for each group of paragraphs. We also created notes, and I showed him different strategies he could use to annotate his work in his book. I informed him that we will look back over his book on Monday, and I'll go over his notes with him to make sure he continued to take notes and understood how to do them in a way that is easy for him to understand. I will also look over his vocabulary sheet to make sure he has been adding new words that he does not know from his readings. I believe this is a great way to improve his vocabulary and reading comprehension skills."

"The student and I started the session by completing the middle level questions of the day. We then used a practice exam from the SSAT prep guide to practice all three sections. We did practice problems from each section in short spurts. He did extremely well today, and I saw him use test strategies for questions without my prompt. We finished the session by discussing his essay, and he now knows that his first sentence must be the original topic given to him by the exam."

"In our first session back, we reviewed the unit circle and introduced the concept of reference angles. The student did well with these new concepts, and I made sure to incorporate as many fractions as I could for continued practice. Next session we will do some work with radians to provide continuity between our most recent sessions."

"The student worked on multiplying mixed fractions. We went over reducing the fractions to get the simplest form. He computes the answers in his head and writes down the steps simply to back up his work. We then worked on his spelling package which included contractions, homophones, making spelling corrections to the contractions, finding the missing letter in the contraction, placing the apostrophe in the correct place in the word, and writing sentences. Excellent session. "

"We covered graphing inequalities and their related concepts. The student was enthusiastic and motivated to review material. I let her take the lead and I checked her work along the way as she knew what she was doing. She was very cooperative and she picked up everything fast."

"Today, we continued reviewing for her test that is on Tuesday. We covered the same material from last session, but more in depth. She understands all of the concepts really well and does an excellent job naming hydrocarbons. However, the student struggled with understanding electronegativity and polarity. She understands the individual logical steps between electronegativity and boiling point differences, but has trouble piecing it together into one cohesive thought. I suggest she focus on understanding this concept, even though it might not be the most important for the test, because it will come up later on in other classes."

"The student and I covered hypothesis testing involving proportions and tests of independence using the Chi-Squared distribution. The student did excellently today, staying focused and working hard throughout. He and I worked to make sure each part of every question was answered systematically; he had struggled with the material in class, and by working with him to set up a system he can work through on each question, he found himself much more comfortable with the material. I will be writing more practice problems for him; he always feels more practice is better. As long as he remembers the system we worked through, I doubt he will have trouble on his final. "
