"The student did not have any homework, and he mentioned that his quiz went well on Friday. So, we decided to practice problems from a released Algebra End-of-Course exam in preparation for testing in a few weeks. I encouraged him to review each problem on the test and identify which ones he felt comfortable enough completing (i.e., by marking them with a star) and the ones he felt as if he did not know how to do (i.e., by boxing those items with a square). We worked through almost half of the test and reviewed the following concepts: parallel line properties, calculating slope and y-intercepts (he may need more review of this concept), solutions to systems of equations (he may need more review of this concept), distance/rate/time formula, identifying vertices and lines of symmetry for quadratic formulas, calculating perimeter using expressions, simplifying expressions, identifying domain and range of functions and graphs, process of elimination, writing and solving equations from word problems, properties of parabolas and graph changes (he may need more practice with this concept), and re-writing equations of lines in standard y = mx + b format (he may need more review of this concept). He expressed that this review was really helpful and that he would try to work through some of the remaining problems before our next session. He was very attentive and asked several questions for clarification during the session. "

"I did casual assessments and worked with the student on subtraction strategies, using her strength with addition to help her with understanding mechanics. "

"The student talked about traditional holiday customs in Korea and how they compare to American and Mexican traditions in the U.S."

"We worked on radicals and word problems. The word problems involved rates. Some of the rates were volume/time problems and some were work/time problems. They often involved two different rates. The radical problems often involved equations, but sometimes they were simplification of radical or rational exponent problems."

"During this session, the student completed his study guide for his test coming up on Friday. After he finished each page, I checked each problem and marked the ones he got wrong. I reminded him how to do the ones he missed, and he attempted them again, getting them correct this time. "

"In this session, we reviewed using points in the coordinate plane to determine the 6 trig identity ratios. We reviewed these problems through the homework assignment. The student initially had problems finding the missing side of the triangle, but eventually caught on began doing them correctly."

"We covered working with logarithms and taking the derivative of equations with natural logs and e. We also covered solving word problems that involve e and the natural log. The student has a good grasp on this section of his calc class."

"We split the session between physics (adding some sentences about momentum to the student's egg drop essay) and algebra - reviewing simplifying/ operations with radicals and solving radical equations. She was very focused on the physics essay, and she is doing well with the algebra concepts."

"In class, the student learned about calculating simple interest using the equation i=prt. We worked on understanding what principal is, and recognizing which parts of the story problem correspond to the variables. After working some problems, her understanding of the material was hugely improved!"

"The student is definitely trying more, which is a big improvement from when we started, so that's a good thing. She seems to be trying hard, so there's progress there. We worked on English since she's taking that test tomorrow. As far as content, she seems to understand the readings. Her typing speed is a bit slow, so I suggested some online courses to help with that. Slow typing might make it harder to finish online work quickly, and I was afraid it might add some extra pressure to the testing. I think she'll end up doing okay on the tests, much better than she might have at the start of the year. So far, so good!"

"We continued covering plants during this session. Topics included primary and secondary growth, transport of water and nutrients, parts of a flower, aspects of fertilization, pollination, and self-defense mechanisms. In many cases the students recalled points that they remembered from class and were able to give examples. They did not seem to struggle at all, presumably since the material itself was previously covered in class. "
