"Both students have both been learning about identifying scale factors and finding missing dimensions given a scale factor. I gave them practice problems dealing with these. Student H had a few problems dividing to find the missing dimension given a scale factor. Student T also had trouble with one of these. They both understood the identifying scale factors problems very well. I had to remind both of them to not forget to include the units in their answers. Their attitudes toward the material we went over today were pretty good. We will work further on these types of problems in future sessions until they are proficient."

"We went over solving trigonometric equations involving the half angle formula and double angle formulas. "

"The student and I reviewed the topics that would be covered on his exam. The first topic that would be covered on the test would be the properties of points, lines, and planes. We saw that any two points are lie on a unique line and that any three noncollinear points lie on a unique plane. I highlighted the fact that these three entities are immeasurable with points not taking any space and lines/ planes being "infinite." We mainly focused on applying the midpoint and distance formulas. We first derived the distance formula by beginning with the Pythagorean theorem and then derived the midpoint formula by realizing that the midpoint is the average of the x and y coordinates of the endpoints. The student was particularly good at finding the distances between points. We worked on different types of midpoint problems where some required finding the midpoints and others required finding the endpoints. To wrap up the session, we reviewed some basic angle definitions (like complementary, line, and vertical angles) and applied the principles in some practice problems to prepare for his exam. "

"The student scored a 20/25 on his first quiz. He lost points because he missed a minus sign that affected several pieces of the problems, but overall he is okay with his performance. He is feeling much more comfortable in the class as they proceed and is keeping up with the recitation well. We prepared for the first midterm exam by working through the sample questions provided as well as some questions from the textbook. Topics included functions, continuity, limit laws, and the Sandwich Theorem and Intermediate Value Theorem. He grasped the proper procedure for working through a problem using the IVT very quickly. We also talked about test-taking strategies such as looking over the whole test first, answering questions from easiest to hardest, and portioning time per question based on difficulty."

"Today we went over the material that is going to be on the student's quiz tomorrow. She seemed to know the material rather well, and we were able to complete her worksheet that was online for homework. She is quick with her calculations, and her reasoning, logic, arithmetic, and application of concepts were all up to par. "

"The student and I did some final review for his test on Saturday. We went over his essay and just talked basic grammar rules and strategy. He's doing really well so I think he'll do great on his test."

"The student and I discussed oscillations and waves. He seemed to be rusty on the topic, so went spent a good amount of time walking through a chapter discussing both of the topics. I believe with more review of the topic he can improve markedly. He usually had the right initial idea about how to approach the problem; however, he tended to lose trust in his understanding. I believe more review in his own time will help curb this reaction. He needs to continue chewing away at his physics schedule, one topic at a time. I recommend more tutoring sessions so that we can improve his skills in other subjects as well."

"The student and I worked primarily on math this session. We did an online work set on percentages and fractions, and we also worked on her Fantastic Five review-- which she got 100% on! For the last half hour, we read Nancy Drew with a focus on vocab words to start preparing for the assessment exam. "

"We covered similar kites, side splitter theorem, and congruent angles. The student had trouble with finding the perimeter and sides of similar kites. She was confused with setting up the ratios between the two shapes using their perimeters, and then using that ratio to find the missing corresponding sides of the kite. We did many example problems during the session and, initially, she had trouble. As she did more problems, she became better at solving them. We also started on the side splitter theorem. We did practice problems for triangles, and I moved ahead to parallel lines and trapezoids when she answered all the problems correctly. We are ahead of the class by a little bit. "

"Today we went over selected questions from the algebra 2 tests, and finished the most difficult questions from the three tests. Topics that needed clarification included completing the squares, calculating angles in complex circles with cords and inscripted angles, and calculating volumes of cones with complex bases. We discussed each of these until the student was comfortable with them. "

"We went over free-response questions, and specifically the ones that the student had questions on. They included rate of change and graph questions. She was understanding the questions after a little bit of direction. "

"We worked on more advanced trigonometry topics, incorporating all the separate parts the student had learned over the past 2 weeks into one cohesive equation framework. He was quick to pick up on how to identify amplitude and vertical shift, and was pretty good with finding out the frequency of a function. He still struggles with finding the period from just the equation, but can identify it from a graph easily. He has a very strong intuitive understanding of how to graph trig functions and translating equations to visual form. He just gets tripped up on the algebra of finding the period. We briefly went over his language arts assignment from last week, talking about areas to improve and what he already knew that he could build upon. "
