"We worked the entire time on problems concentrated on median, mode, and range. She did very well and was able to understand the concepts thoroughly. "

"The student was mostly finished with his math packet and had only 1 page left in his science. So we worked on the remainder of his math packet (these were dividing with decimals in word problems - he did a great job with a few reminders), then completed 4 questions on his science packet (the science packet was a close reading, then involved questions about the reading - he needed a few reminders to go back and re-read the paragraphs, but he did a great job completing it!). He is now finished with all of his math and science for break and only has to complete his reading. He did a great job! He is very positive and even turned math homework into a game where he and I competed for "lottery points" by answering questions faster (this was all his idea!)"

"We made good headway into continuing to work through the partnership tax return assignment. The student is extremely bright and diligent and is really understanding the concepts and methodology - we now need to put it all together."

"We started with organization. The student organized his binder and placed items in their appropriate spot. He had a few papers in his backpack. I stressed the importance of keeping them in their spot. Next, we worked on homework, starting with science and ending with vocabulary. He had already started some of it in class. He then read his silent reading book and logged in a few entries into his "B.A.R.F" log. He read about 30 pages in his book. He also worked on homework that is due later in the week. We are working on getting ahead and prioritizing his time. "

"The student and I started off by reviewing his math homework that went over multiplying a 3 or 4 digit number by a 1 digit number. After completing this, we discussed his spelling homework and reviewed some spelling patterns such is "i.e." turning to "y" when adding an "ing." Finally, we ended by playing a fluency computer game."

"We covered trig identities, a new section. The student was struggling a bit with identifying how to use them, but we came up with some strategies on how to use them. The student got a 97% on his last big math test, so that was great to hear!"

"We reviewed homework assignment 7 that covered more exercises in passe compose. The focus of the assignment was to test the student's ability to correctly write the conjugated verbs in the past for plural, feminine, and masculine words. More practice with the past and present tense was provided, with the student reading after me and then indicating the past tense words in the text. The student was given homework assignment on additional present and past tense practice. "

"We focused on practicing working with radicals. We went through simplifying cube and fourth roots of numbers and expressions with variables. We practiced multiplying and dividing roots including rationalizing fractions with higher order roots. We practiced adding and subtracting roots. We used the foil method to multiply binomials with radicals including proving that multiplying conjugate pairs of binomials gives the difference of the squares. He is doing well working with square roots and is becoming more comfortable applying the same rules for square roots to the higher order roots. "

"The student had a homework problem in which she was asked to run a regression analysis on 3 datasets. I walked her through the analysis and interpretation of the data, and she graphed the results. I continued on to talk about nonlinear regression involving quadratic equations. "

"The student worked on acids and bases and finding their conjugates. She worked on the differences between Lewis, Bronsted-Lowry, and Arrhenius acids and bases. She understood the topics pretty quickly, but she should continue to review the material. "

"The student and I went over more than half of his final exam review packet. It included many topics solving equations, solving systems, quadratic formula, parabolic functions (basic graphing concepts), simplifying exponents across division and multiplication, slope, equations of a line, domain and range of functions, and exponential growth and decay. We did at least one problem of each kind, and I had the student use the remaining problems as practice problems to be completed by our next review session on Sunday afternoon. He is able to solve many of these problems on his own and then just look up at my solutions on the board to verify his answer. I'm very impressed with his mathematical fluency. "
