"The student and I looked ahead to the next section that she will cover in math class: percentage increases and decreases. We also reviewed the earlier lessons about percentages as we went through the problems. The main issue she is having with these problems is understanding what exactly the questions are asking, especially with the lengthy word problems. We are trying to focus on how there are simple steps to these problems-- find the given percentage of a number and then add or subtract that number from the original number. We will continue to work on making this more intuitive for her."

"We reviewed for the student's algebra test. The material covered was arithmetic and geometric explicit and recursive formulas. The student understood what we were doing. I left the student with several study strategies, and after we completed her entire review packet, we went over the material to do a final review so I could check that the material made sense to her. Overall, the session went well again, and the student works hard during the entire time that I am there to tutor. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday. "

"The student had done his homework ahead of time. When I corrected him or showed him ways of doing the problems, he would often grasp my meanings very quickly and show good confidence in repeating ideas in a different context, showing that he does understand the material and learn quickly, though he doesn't always get everything the first time through. I look forward to continuing to work with him."

"The student wanted to use this session to work on his math homework as well as review for his upcoming science test. His math homework dealt with dilations and finding scale factors. He had a very good understanding of the material, so we did not have to spend much time on it. We then reviewed for his science test by using his already completed study guide. We spent the most time discussing the order of events in replication, transcription, and translation. By drawing pictures of what was happening on the molecular level, he could understand the process better. After going through the material a few times, he was able to explain to me the events in a clear and precise way."

"We went over the review worksheet for the student's test Wednesday. He seems to be pretty comfortable with knowing when to use the Pythagorean Theorem. We're going to meet again tomorrow night for more review!"

"We covered rate separable differential problems and word problems on the same material. The student seemed very familiar with the material and didn't get stalled on any problems we covered. She should be very well prepared for her test tomorrow."

"Today we mostly wrestled with ways to think about visualizing 3D shapes. It just takes practice and patience, so we worked through many examples, constructed some shapes, and also worked through a proof of Euler's polygon theorem. "

"We covered domain and the simplification of expressions involving exponents and roots. The only thing the student wasn't sure about at first was finding the domain of a function, but once I went over the concept, he was able to work the problems successfully and knew how to approach each case. As for progress, he has kept up the good work; he achieved a score of 86 on his most recent Algebra 2 test. "

"In this session, the student and I reviewed some of the topics that will be on his quiz this Wednesday. We revisited his homework assignments. We covered different methods of factoring polynomials, This included finding the greatest common factor, the difference of perfect squares, sums and differences of cubes, and the grouping method of factorization. He was comfortable with finding the difference of perfect squares and the sums and differences of cubes; however, he struggled at times with the grouping method of factorization and finding the greatest common factor. I noticed his problems stemmed from not knowing the 1-10 multiplication tables by heart. He relies on his calculator so it takes me a long time to solve these problems. I told him to review the multiplication tables as homework for this issue. "

"The student and I began reviewing for his AP exam today, going over problems for both the free-response and multiple-choice calculator portions. He needed some help with the more esoteric problems, but he showed a strong grasp of the basic concepts all around."

"The student's class is still working on graphing parabolas. She didn't quite grasp the structure and meaning of the vertex form of the parabolas equation, so we reviewed that and I had her practice identifying a, h, and k. We then went through her homework together, and she did a good job decoding the vertex form to match it with the appropriate graph. She then needed to graph three parabolas from the vertex form of their equations, so we went through that together. She has the basics down well but is sometimes hampered when graphic by arithmetic errors that cause her to plot the wrong coordinates, so I cautioned her to be very careful and precise when she plugs in X values to calculate coordinates for graphing.
