"We worked several word problems, setting up the equations to translate English to math. The student's exam is tomorrow. "

"The student continued to work on his essay for Fahrenheit 451. He successfully mapped out his essay, and we worked on how to analyze and ensure that each part of the prompt is answered. He also worked on the formal outline for the essay. The student continues to improve his writing and understanding of the questions being asked. He is learning to analyze his readings, and pick out good quotes to use to back up his thesis. "

"I worked with both student A and student B. With student A I worked on positive and negative numbers and calculating volume for 3D objects. With student B we worked through a packet of 100+ math problems as she prepares for a comprehensive end-of-the-year math exam. We covered solving linear equations using substitution and elimination, basic algebra solving for x, working through word problems to put the information into solvable equations, and graphing and solving inequalities. Student A worked hard throughout the session and was receptive to my instruction and feedback. Student B worked hard throughout the session and seemed focused on her homework. She was open to different ways of looking at problems and to instruction, and showed facility collaborating with me to solve more difficult problems. It seems that both kids will be willing to work with me and seem to already have strong ability in math."

"The student and I reviewed his reading comprehension skills, as well as his writing and basic math facts. He was taught new strategies for blending letter sounds together. He worked on comprehension and listened to three stories read aloud. He was required to "write in the air" about certain discussion questions that went along with the text. For math, we reviewed fact families. He also did work on addition and subtraction skills up to 25. He did very well this session."

"We covered the behavior of functions, rough graphs of functions, simplifying expressions with negative exponents. The student was concern about logarithm problems, and after practicing exercises and explaining to him, he is much confident now."

"We covered conductors, insulators, erosion, weathering, density, scientific method, and forces via executing test corrections. The student had a few misconceptions about these concepts, but as we made the corrections she was able to justify the correct answers by giving brief explanations for each missed item. She will be able to earn back some of the points on the exam by completing the test corrections. She had an extremely positive attitude towards this evening's session. She is excited about earning those points back. She also worked on completing a project titled the "ABC's of Math." The project involves making a glossary of math terms that includes examples. She is required to reference all resources used to complete the project. She scored a 95 percent on the last "ABC's of Math" project she completed. She will continue to practice by completing homework assignments in both academic disciplines. She is doing well thus far this school year."

"The student and I worked on phonics and spelling by adding the missing letters to words. We then went through a list of sight words and made flashcards for the ones that she didn't know. She is excited about the materials. I'd like to continue working on building the words she is comfortable with through phonics and vocabulary building. I challenged her to practice words that use ch, th, sh, and wh for next week. Additionally, any extra practice with vowel sounds and common words would be helpful."

"This session was one of our most productive and successful sessions to date. The student and I spent the entire time working through problem sets and she really seemed to enjoy the refresher on previously learned topics (i.e.: box and whisker plots, simplifying equations, determining unit rate, etc.). Between now and our next session, I asked her to get some blank note cards so that we can create flashcards of necessary concepts to have memorized in order to be more successful on standardized tests. Overall, we had a great session tonight! "

"The student and I covered completing the square and graphing parabolic functions. Throughout this session, I worked with him to fortify his understanding of parabolas. We went through many problems where he had to graph the functions that were given to him. He started off slow; however, as we kept practicing, he started to get the hang of it. "

"In Thursday's session, we reviewed transformations in geometry. We also started work on some statistical concepts: mean, median, mode, frequency distribution, histograms, standard deviation, coefficient of variance and standardized score. I have left the student with some self study on box and whisker plots and stem and leaf plots. Overall, I feel she is well on her way to completing the syllabus for this year in a couple of weeks."

"The student and I spent the entire session working on series problems. The problems all asked us to determine the convergence or divergence of a given series without suggesting a specific test to use. In most cases the appropriate test to use was fairly obvious, but there were a few questions that required us to try multiple tests. Overall, it was a fruitful session because he got additional experience in selecting appropriate tests, which can be one of the more challenging parts of working with series. We will meet one more time before his upcoming test to continue working on more practice problems."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We reviewed his most recent test, which was on factoring of polynomials and the applications of quadratic equations. I advised him to take advantage of the study-hall like periods built into his school schedule to review his tests before handing them in, and possibly retaking tests that he performed poorly on. He had a "project" of sorts that was essentially extra practice. I reminded him to do some problems involving negatives to experience how they behave differently in similar contexts. The grade on his recent test was a high B, which is markedly improved from earlier performance. "
