"During my session with the students we worked on their upcoming research papers for English class. Student A struggled to figure out what interested her enough to research, while student B struggled in brainstorming ideas of what successful leaders had as common character traits. Both girls had positive attitudes toward the material we worked on and for a research strategy, I suggested the girls watch documentaries or reliable videos on the people of interest they want to use in their research paper. I think the girls are managing their time well for their research projects."

"We focused on Math - statistics and probabilities. We will continue to review to guarantee that the student will be prepared for an upcoming exam. He is going to continue to read 30 minutes a day. On Wednesday, in addition to Math, we will work on Writing as well. The student is going to continue to review Stats/Probs and read."

"This week, the student and I covered the questions that she got incorrect on her last assessment. The student had the most difficulty with problems involving rational expressions. As a result, we spent the remainder of the session going over practice problems. Her practice for the week involves multiplying, factoring and solving polynomials. She is focused and diligent about asking questions and practicing the skills that give her the most trouble."

"We went over the book homework given. This included recognizing functions based on their equations (polynomials), finding the end limits of a function, factoring polynomials, finding the zeros of complex polynomials in the calculator, and word problems. Word problems were the most difficult, but were easily tackled once all of the information was properly extracted from the text. Study strategies for tests included making practice tests, going over homework more than once without notes, and double checking work while in the test."

"We went over numerous problems similar to what was on the student's recent quiz, and she did pretty well. We did some problems on direct variation and finding the slope of a line. We then reviewed how to graph a line when given the slope-intercept form. We then looked ahead to topics that may be covered next, including systems of equations. "

"The student and I reviewed the worksheet again, to make sure she understood how she came to the answers. She covered something in class that really helped her keep addition and subtraction straight. She also remembered a strategy we covered in yesterday's session for solving one of the word problems. We went over circumference again and she definitely feels more comfortable solving for circumference given the diameter and solving for radius given the circumference."

"I covered the material on the student's review. I covered writing equations from word problems, independent and dependent variables, probability, mean/ median/ mode, solving for a variable, and the Pythagorean theorem. He was struggling most with solving for a variable and writing equations and setting a dependent and independent variable. His attitude was fine. I included little math tricks for arithmetic. One of them is if there are 2-digit numbers with their digits swapped (for example 35 and 53) then the difference between those two numbers is the difference of their digits times 9 (5-3 =2, 2*9=18, 53-35=18). Another strategy I included was to ask what makes more sense when writing an equation, does variable x depend on y or does variable y depend on x? He said he passed his last exam with a C, when before he was failing. The win is he was understanding more than half of the review."

"We covered polynomials, word problems, and multiplying polynomial expressions. The student was able to do all the work on his own and worked through the problems with me to make sure that he was doing the work correctly. He has a strong understanding of the material and has shown improvement since he has started writing his work down rather than doing it in his head."

"The student and I reviewed math concepts again, which mostly consisted of me quizzing him. He has them for the most part, but still has trouble recalling some of the more obscure concepts and applying them in new instances. We worked through another math section of the practice test that he has previously done on his own, with a focus on the concepts and steps needed for each problem. In the future, we will return to our usual habit of breaking up long periods of math work with reading and writing practice. "

"The student and I started on her new packet that went over trig functions and their identities. Her teacher used a unique method that had them solve a function that was letters and then used a similar trig function to connect the two. She is extremely capable of passing this class."

"We covered more problems involving factoring, distance formula, slope, and the equation of the line. She was struggling a little with dividing fractions, but I am confident that when she does the problems by herself that she will do it correctly. Her attitude towards the material was great, over this week I have been able to see her progress and understanding of the material. She even said that factoring and problems that divide factors are fun! I made problems for her to complete during the session as well as working on problems that she had questions about from a practice test. She has been doing really well on problems involving the equation of a line, and seems to understand the concepts, because she is able to complete more advanced problems that I presented her with. I am confident that she has improved in her skills after working together throughout the week, I hope she does well on her exam!"
