"This week the student and I worked on determining which fractions were larger and which were less. We also worked on subtracting fractions and I am constantly pleased by how far she has progressed. She is a very bright student! "

"She had a packet with material about simplifying radicals and solving equations with radicals. It was a new unit, and up until Monday, she had only gone over the basics in class about simplifying radicals. She understood how to do this but often made small mistakes in carrying out her calculations that would lead her to the wrong answer. We went on to cover some material that she had not seen in class yet, rationalizing denominators. Likewise, she picked up the concept but had a hard time carrying out all the steps to remove the radical from the denominator of a fraction and simplify the fraction. I think she needs practice more than anything, in order to feel confident in solving exercises."

"The student and I worked on conics today, solving hyperbolas, parabolas, and circles. We will continue Thursday to prep for his quiz on Friday."

"We worked on how to find the next number in a pattern of numbers. We also worked on what the student will be learning in school this week. I prepared notes and steps for her to follow so she does not get lost."

"We continued working on SSAT prep and this session we did a combination of specific drills in math (like exponents) and some mixed math problems. He had a little trouble but mostly because there were a few he was trying to do too quickly. Then reading comprehension is better and he did great with the inference questions. He did well on the analogies, and pretty well on synonyms. The words he didn't know, we wrote on a list for later flashcard review."

"During this lesson, we went over the product rule again. This is a new math concept for the student, so this lesson reiterated some of the harder concepts of derivatives and limits. As usual, he was very focused on the work and eager to learn. I showed him some of the shortcuts of finding derivatives, which should prove helpful for some of the problems. I left him with some questions involving finding derivatives and will be sending solutions if necessary."

"The student and I met to complete the revisions to her midterm exam. I was able look through the exam and locate some of the theorems and postulates needed to explain the corrections thoroughly. We were able to navigate the book with less effort and completed all revisions, with a few extra minutes left over to practice additional proofs in her textbook. She also located some formulas in her notes to add to her flashcards. Overall, she says she feels more comfortable with the material. I will be sending her some practice problems to go through on the weekends to continue to boost her confidence."

"We spent most of the session pre-writing some paragraphs for a major writing assignment, including an opinion position by the student. She understood the main idea of a news article on the Supreme Court's recent ruling. She wrote on aspects of the plan, objections by states and power companies, and the Court's ruling. She is completing the final copy independently. We spent some time reviewing her newest vocabulary unit as she was having a quiz the next day."

"The student and I discussed information on species interactions such as predation, competition, and symbiosis from chapter 20 section 1. Then we covered information in chapter 20 section 2 on measuring community stability using species richness and diversity and how those can be affected by latitude, land area, and natural and human disturbances. We also talked about the steps of ecological succession in communities. At the end of the session, we covered chapter 20 section 1 on terrestrial biomes. She did very well on the practice questions and diagrams that I provided for chapter 20. "

"We went over solving two linear equations by elimination, substitution and my graphing. I think the student is smart and can learn the material if he focuses. His basics are not that clear yet, so the plan is to start Algebra from the beginning and get some basics clear first."

"We reviewed for the AP extended response questions. The student needed help with how to interpret and begin the problem. Once I got him started on the right track, he could finish the questions with no problem. When he thinks deeper about what exactly the integrals and derivatives of functions mean, he can do the problems well. "
