"At this session, the topic we focused on was properties of exponents: product, zero, quotient, negative, and power. The student was comfortable solving problems with just zero, product and quotient exponents. He had more difficulty with the problems involving negative exponents and power exponents, so we focused on those during our session. We will continue to work on these problems in future sessions as well. The student informed me that his grade has improved to a B in this course. "

"We worked on simplifying rational expressions. We started by reviewing what is a rational expression. The student was able to explain this in basic terms and I explained it to her using mathematical terms. We started by factoring in general and did a problem from her book. She had some trouble dividing fractions so we went over how to do that. She also had difficulty at the beginning because the examples from class were different from her homework. She was able to talk out what she didn't understand and then was able to see the similarities. We went through her homework and she did well. In general, her biggest problem was not factoring a term completely. She got better at this as we went through more problems. "

"The student did hypothesis testing and confidence intervals...all by hand. I'll email a template with Excel calculations tonight. "

"The student and I began our first session by going over her past ACT scores and the diagnostic test. Then we went over the math section of one of the practice tests that she took previously from the practice manual. For next week's session, I asked her to memorize the necessary mathematical formulas and review her trigonometry work. "

"During our session this evening we focused on long division and memorizing times tables. The student told me that in his class right now they are focusing on dividing three numbers by two numbers so we did a lot of problems like that with long division. NiHe ck seems very smart, and he knows the process well, but he gets ahead of himself and makes mistakes. But he is also good at realizing where he made the mistake and fixing it quickly. Next we spent a good amount of time working with the multiplication flashcards so that he can memorize all multiplication problems with numbers 1 through 12. This will help him be more efficient when doing larger math problems and is extremely important. I gave him 2 minutes to get through as many flashcards as possible, and he really enjoyed the challenge. "

"The student and I worked on Descartes' rules of signs, determining zeroes from given quadratic functions, and determining quadratic functions from given zeroes. She was very confident with all skills. She determined solution methods with respect to her homework."

"The student has a test tomorrow morning, so we studied gene expression in great detail. We covered transcription, RNA editing, and translation in lots of detail.. She is very positive towards this material and is very receptive to the help she is receiving. She has some really great and intelligent questions about the concepts at hand, which are quite difficult! I gave her the practice tests for AP Bio and let her know that they could help shape her studying by illuminating what she doesn't know. I also sent her some helpful YouTube links that demonstrate the processes of transcription and translation."

"The student was working on finding the area and circumference of circles. We reviewed what the radius, diameter, and circumference mean, as well as the formulas for area and circumference. She continued to practice algebra skills when solving for an unknown. Furthermore, she worked through several word problems. With these more challenging problems, she practiced identifying what she knows from the question, what she needs to find, and how to illustrate the problem. By the end she had mastered finding the area of circles, and solving for either unknown circumference, radius, or diameter. "

"We talked through the rest of her response essay for her communications class, then briefly discussed her upcoming prompt so that she could start working on that over the weekend. We then worked on finishing her edits on her English paper and responding to the full prompt and all of her professor's comments."

"The student and I worked on some more long division problems, word problems, and 3D problems. She is very good at working out a long problem but is still having a hard time distinguishing what steps to take first. We will continue to work on it so that she will be able to better recognize whether a problem is multiplication or division. "

"We worked on a review of his homework, which covered finding the area of triangle and parallelograms. He was able to use previously learned information to make connections needed to solve the problem. We also reviewed content from the beginning of the semester, like congruent triangles and corresponding angles and sides. He displayed good recall of the material. He did better with using the given information to make connections and extrapolate needed information to solve problems. We talked about staying organized when working and writing down what he's solving for. For instance, instead of writing (1/2)(2)(3) and not remembering what the answer represents, write A=(1/2)(2)(3), as well as using subscripts when solving for multiple areas, etc. in a single problem.
