"The student worked on homework covering matrix addition, subtraction and multiplication. The student worked on problems identifying the size of a product matrix and whether matrix multiplication is even possible. The bulk of the homework involved the student performing the operation of matrix multiplication on two 2x2 matrices, a 2x2 matrix and 2x3 matrix, a 3x2 matrix and a 2x2 matrix. After having help setting up the first couple of problems, the student understood the operation and was able to set up and solve the rest of the homework problems on his own."

"We covered two worksheets on scientific notation. She had two worksheets to complete. There was definitely improvement with the more practice that she did!"

"The student and I went over the basics of integration: using rectangles to approximate the area under a curve."

"In today's session we focused on homework and extra review for the student's math class. He is going to retake his last test. I looked over the test and saw that most of the points he lost were from a lack of attention to detail as well as thoroughly reading the problems and what they were asking of him. We completed extra review of the types of problems he missed and also completed problem set 27 for homework."

"We prepped for the final. I told him that during the test if he starts to lose his concentration, he has to tell himself that this is not as all-important as he thinks it is, and no one has ever been thrown to the lions for not passing a final. He has studied so much, to the point of over studying, so I told him to take a day away from studying and just get a good night's sleep."

"We discussed pre-algebra and how to tell whether a rational number is terminating or not. Today, we spent 1.5 hours on conversions. We discussed mega, kilo, deci, centi and milli and how to do unit conversions. We went from pretty simple to more complicated conversions such as dL/hr to mL/s. The student is doing very well and he is picking up very quickly."

"Today we reviewed the main concepts of what a paragraph needs: a topic, a topic sentence, and supporting details. Then the student wrote his own paragraph. Then we read "The Creature in the Closet." The activities created around the story involved vocabulary/ spelling, comprehension questions, and adjective work. This was his first introduction to what an adjective is, so we brainstormed lists of examples before completing the activities from the story. His grasp of today's concepts was strong. "

"I covered with the student his chapter related to factoring, zero product property and the vertical motion model. After I explained the concepts, he solved the questions with little help and also made fewer calculation mistakes."

"I covered with the student finding the greatest common factor of a number of algebraic expressions, factoring by grouping, and factoring polynomials. I also guided him in doing a review packet based on the concepts covered. "

"We primarily covered linear equations. We went over the origin of the Cartesian plane. We also covered the characteristics of a line in 2D space. This included learning more about standard form, slope intercept form and point slope form. We also covered factoring, specifically difference of squares rule. This included going over the FOIL (First, Inner, Outer, Last) and distributive property of multiplication to check her work once she factors an expression. When we were doing this, I saw that there existed a deficiency in her knowledge of exponent theory. I stopped and decided to go over product and power-to-power rules when working with exponents. She seemed to grasp all the material. She was very proud of the fact that she scored a 90% on her test last week. Bravo to her! "

"A continuation of the preparation for the quiz on unit 9 on Wednesday. We focused more heavily on the sums of arithmetic and geometric sequences, divergence vs. convergence, and summation notation. Remember - something diverges when it either goes to infinity (increases) OR goes back and forth and does not reach a single number. Something converges when the numbers get smaller and adds up to a single number (which does not have to be 0 or 1). Summation notation gives the range of "n" terms that can be used and the explicit formula. We talked more about SAT prep, and prepared a more solid practice plan to do outside of tutoring to prepare more for next week. "
