"Tonight we covered more problem styles involving solving inequalities for different rational expressions, beginning to include both word problems and problems that involved first solving to convert the equation into a rational expression. The student was able to adapt his previous problem solving strategies once he had converted the new problem type into one of the old problem types and we finished well within our time window. "

"The student is an extremely outgoing easy to talk to 6th grader. Today was our first meeting and we looked at things she had for homework. We started with writing. She had to complete her personal narrative. She worked on how she should end it. Next we moved on to geography. She had to complete a vocabulary paper where she had to look up the words in the book and write the definition. After she did this we moved on to math. She had some trouble with a few problems on a review sheet so we went over those concepts and made sure she understood the rest of the paper for her test. Her mom said we can work on whatever it is that she has for studying each week. We will continue to do this!"

"The student and I reviewed all of his geometry coursework from the last few months of his class. Specifically, we reviewed how to find the area and perimeter of any regular polygon and several irregular polygons. We also reviewed Algebra concepts that are starting to be inserted into his classes. He was polite, engaged, and very focused - he learned a lot, and I enjoyed the session."

"The student had practice state assessment testing yesterday and today, so his class has yet to begin Chapter 2 Percents. I introduced, practiced and reinforced the first two sections of the chapter: definition of percent, working with percents from charts and finding the percent of a number (fraction and decimal methods). He was well engaged and picked up the concepts quickly!"

"The student and I went over a review sheet to figure potential and kinetic energy and work problems. We worked over a series of word problems that involved converting potential energy like gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, or the energy of a spring or velocity calculations of and object which converted potential energy to kinetic energy. "

"Today, we went over partial quotients and two digit multiplication. First, we went over partial quotients because that is what the student is currently working on in school, and they are difficult to understand because there are many steps. He grasped the concept quickly and did very well on my practice problems. We then moved on to two digit multiplication because from my observations last week, he was having a difficult time. I taught him the method and explained why we need zero as a placeholder, and once he understood why, he was getting better at it. He improved a lot compared to where he was last week. We'll continue to work on it."

"The student had some homework questions due this coming Thursday so he spent time working on this to get him comfortable with the topics being covered in class, which were the gas laws (Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, Avogadro's Law, Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, Ideal Gas Law) and the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases. While he understood the lessons conceptually, he had some trouble applying the knowledge and equations to the questions that were presented. The problems were somewhat challenging, because they varied in the approach needed to solve them, in addition to the numerous gas laws that he needed to have in his working memory. I anticipated that he would become comfortable with this, however, as he continued to work through the questions, which ultimately was the case as we finished half of the question packet. "

"We went over solving quadratic equations as well as solving quadratic equations involving trigonometry. I explained to the student that temporarily imagining the more difficult problem in terms of x will make it much easier to solve. I sent him a worksheet for him to practice his math skills online."

"Tonight we reviewed probability. We started by going over a worksheet on independent and dependent events that the student had from class. Then we spent some time on simple probability in preparation for her quiz tomorrow. I emailed her some additional practice."

"We went through the end of the last chapter we were working on and started going through review problems for the test. For most of the problems she needed to reference her notes for the section, but once she did she was able to solve the problems. This means she has an understanding of the topics and that she needs to keep further cementing before the test. I suggested that she go through each problem in the textbook (she has a student solution manual) and do many problems for each topic that will be on the test. I think that is going to be the best way for her to study for this one."

"Today we took the final and he got a 96%!!!! He was also able to make up some discussion boards so he will finish with an A in the class! He says he feels really good about his math skills and is more confident overall in school. He aimed for an A and achieved his goal."
