"The student and I continued studying for his final focusing on different methods of solving for the area of regular and irregular shapes, as well as the surface area of 3-D object and their volumes. We worked for an extended time on the calculation of the volume of a strange shape, which actually turned out to be a 3-D pyramid with the top cut off (similar to a frustum, which is a 3-D cone, with the top sliced off). I attempted to use inquiry and work the problem through with him. He did well solving all other problems with a high level of competence."

"The student and I worked on his homework for sections 5.8 and 6.1, which covered antiderivatives and the beginnings of integration. Problems involved solving simple differential equations and initial value problems, using the sigma notation for Riemann sums to approximate integrals, and understanding definite integrals as the area under a curve. He is doing much better at working independently on his homework. We also discussed some strategies for studying for his upcoming midterm on his own before we meet. He feels that he did well on the recent quiz."

"The student and I did some passage and fill-in-the-blank practice problems. We also did a diagnostic test and a practice test. Based on the diagnostic he still needs to work on Humanities and Natural Science passage questions, as well as two-blank questions. He's doing really well on single-blank questions, Literary Fiction and Social Science practice questions. Good work!"

"The student and I looked at a few of the problems I left him with last week. He was able to do several on his own and only needed a little assistance with the last two. He then worked on his homework for the night which was multiplying polynomial functions; after walking him through one of them he was able to do it on his own for the remainder. I left him with 4 extra homework problems on factoring polynomials, solving a system of linear equations with three variables, adding polynomial functions and multiplying polynomials. He appeared to have a firm grasp on the material that we covered."

"The student continued to work with sprinkler application problems. Included in our session today were fractions, decimals, metric to metric linear conversions, metric to customary conversions, customary to metric conversions, as well as metric to customary area conversions and vice versa. He did well during the lesson and was very smooth and fluid in his calculations, only needing minor adjustments from time to time."

"The student and I worked through practice AP questions. They involved mainly derivatives: finding maxima/ minima, concavity, implicit differentiation, and tangent lines. She seemed to grasp the material and just needed someone to help her work through problems."

"Today I helped the student correct his works cited for his English session as well as his history homework. He had to revise his works cited page twice and had a few answers incorrect on his social studies assignment. I also had him complete his dictation exercises for the week. "

"The student worked on her homework. We talked about how to model a physical situation with a parabola, solving different forms of equations, and some geometry problems with trig functions. We also did many practice problems and talked about how to solve these problems quickly."

"We covered sections 1.1 and 1.2 of algebra, which includes graphing, plotting the points, and finding the solution to an equation. The student was very receptive to the session, and learns quickly. Section 1.2 was harder for her because she had missed that day of class, but she figured it out pretty easily. She has a great attitude and is eager to learn. We practiced writing out the problems and she completed the homework assigned. I'm very pleased with the session! "

"We began by reading a timeline and categorizing the invention on it. Next, we created a timeline of scientific and transportation inventions. We then worked on math, comparing fractions, doing multiplication, identifying polygons, and using letters to do probability problems. We used money cards for counting coins and flash cards of multiplication facts. The student also turned a list of words into contractions (ex. could not = couldn't). "

"In this session, we discussed thermal physics, in particular how to calculate the energy added to or taken away from a system associated with the process of changes in temperature of different substances. We reviewed the student's homework and used that as a guide to address any issues he may be having. He seems to have a good grasp of this material. I focus on showing him ways of organizing his information to help him consistently get the correct answers on his own. This includes writing out the equation he will be using and defining each variable in the equation. This will help him not only identify what it is that he should be solving for, but also give him ways to double check that he is using the correct information. "
