"We conducted a review of probability and factoring polynomial expressions. We then completed an overview of definitions and symbols of union and intersections of events. We discussed how wording translates into problem solving and equations. In addition, we completed practice and examples to master each concepts. "

"The student and I went over graphing, slope, and intercepts. We practiced graphing different functions and then figured out how to find the slope using two points on the graph. Then we went over what x and y intercepts were and figured out how to get each one. Then we used the x and y intercepts to graphs some of the functions. She did really well connecting the graphs to the functions and following the steps toward what we were looking for in each problem. "

"The student and I covered parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and the distance formula in preparation for her next test. She seemed to understand the material. We worked some problems in the text and left others for individual practice. Her last test grade was an 88, which was a big improvement over her first grade. "

"I helped the student begin reviewing for his first test on the first 2 chapters of his course. Much of this is a review of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry concepts necessary for calculus. We reviewed a lot about functions, different types of functions, as well as what it means for a function to be "odd" or "even." We also reviewed concepts of limits, by doing calculations of the slope of secant lines, and then moving one point closer to the fixed point -- simulating the limit process and the "instantaneous" slope at that point (e.g. what a derivative is ... without having to know what that is ... yet). We reviewed that the slope of a position vs. time graph is the velocity. He needs to review our notes, making sure he remembers things. I also encourage him to review many different problems to gain more confidence. "

"We covered how to graph and transform functions. She had a great attitude towards the material and was very receptive. After the session, I suggested a website for more review. She seemed familiar with the website so I asked her to revisit it and to review their material for her upcoming test or quiz. She is very bright. She learned how to transform functions in a short amount of time, which I found very impressive. She also understood the concept behind piecewise functions very quickly and utilized her skills to draw a function resembling a heartbeat. She told me she wants to enter the medical field so I explained the importance of understanding functions and how they may be interpreted in a medical setting. Next session, I plan to review the order of operations and practice graphing more complicated f(x) functions. "

"Today we went over the student's quiz on inequalities. She understood how to do most of the problems. "

"The student worked on several assignments having to do with the graphs of the basic trigonometric functions. After taking his quiz on homework questions, he wrote an analysis of the sine function and its fundamental features, then studied the graphs of other trig functions, including how transformations affect them. He also completed his tip of the day work for this module."

"The student took two sections of the practice test, and we went over his answers and strategies for improving his score. He was especially struggling with effectively choosing which questions to answer and which to try later."

"The student and I took a look at her homework that is due this week. We covered factoring, properties of functions/ polynomials, domain and range, and quadratic equations. After multiple problems of the same form with my help, she is feeling more comfortable. I would like her to try to work on the problems independently and see how she does without help. Then, I can go back and assist her with what she has questions on. "

"Today the student and I worked on his vocabulary for his quiz tomorrow, and we also worked on studying for his constitution test which he also has tomorrow. He did a good job with the vocabulary. It has been helping him to make flashcards and to write the definitions in his own words. He plans to study the notes we wrote together again in the morning before his test. "

"The student continued working on his writing prompt about splicing. He continued researching sources and went over finding information, note-taking strategies, and organizing sources and key ideas. He wrote down key questions to ask about his prompt and worked on answering these questions via research. He wrote down his main research points for his first body paragraphs. He will finish writing down the main points from his research for the remainder of his prompt next session. He is working on thoroughly evaluating sources and their contributions to the paper rather than grabbing just any source. He is also working on expanding on key details and providing evidence to explain the significance behind his main points in writing. "

"The student and I went over his math homework, which included Geometry symbols and notes. I took some time to work with him on his long division. We discussed the concept of estimation and how to use it more effectively for time management. We also spent some time moving ahead with Geometry, and I taught him perimeter and area formulas. "
