"Today we did an old AP calculus AB exam. We went over various topics including, implicit differentiation, the fundamental theorem of calculus, average value of a function, average rate of change, first and 2nd derivative tests, and separable differential equations. The student was unaware of how to solve a separable differential equation, so I showed him the algorithm and left some extra practice for him which I will check on Thursday."

"Today we continued our discussion of logarithms by looking at three more topics. We started off with learning how to find the inverse of logarithmic and exponential functions. Next we worked on graphing logarithmic equations and figuring out how certain translations affected the base graphs. Finally, we looked at the add-multiply property of exponential functions and how it could be used. Overall the children seemed to understand what was going on, and I left them with homework due next week."

"The first student was working on statistics this week. This included z-scores, normal distributions, and finding the percent in a specified set. She had the most trouble with the last category mainly trying to match less than/greater than questions with the correct distribution on the normal curve. I suggested the student draw a picture for each question and decide if it greater than (1-%) or from a to b (b%-a%). She seems pretty comfortable with the material and should do well on her test. The second student is studying for his unit test. This unit covered volume and surface area for different geometric figures (pyramids, prisms, spheres, cones). He has a very good handle on volume for all shapes. We reviewed the surface area equations and what dimensions are required for each figure. He had some difficulty with surface areas for irregular figures that are made up of multiple figures. The last topic we covered were the ratios for similar figures between dimension length, surface area and volume. Overall he seemed to better understand all his test material and is prepared for his upcoming exam. "

"Discussed upcoming paper on Hamlet. Thesis, title, subtopics and supporting information as well as layout of paper. Rough draft due at next meeting."

"We reviewed the student's previous test she didn't do well on and corrected the mistakes. We went over function inverses, the unit circle, and the law of Sines. She felt much more confidence in preparation for her upcoming quiz."

"We reviewed the student's diagnostic testing, and decided to focus on the math section. We discussed overall tips and strategies for not only this section, but for test taking in general. She identified some areas that she wanted to work on within the math section; namely areas and volumes of spheres, as well as understanding and using algebraic functions. She has a great attitude, a wonderful sense of humor, and is eager to learn. We had a very good session and when asked if she felt better about ACT math, she said that she did. She would like to continue focusing on Math over the next week. She has many resources to use to practice questions."

"The student and I focused on test prep for most of this session. She was able to work through most problems without difficulty. She often spoke aloud while working through problems, which was helpful for catching her mistakes. "

"The student and I continued working on volumes of rotation. We reviewed the disk and washer methods over again. She's doing a much better job identifying each variable in the expression and has a really great grasp on her antiderivatives. Though they haven't covered it yet, we also worked on the cylindrical shell method. She definitely has an easier time when she draws it out for herself. She's feeling very confident in these volumes of rotation, which is great to hear."

"We covered decimals, fractions, percents, and listing these in order from least to greatest. This was our first session. We studied the chapter review and a previous quiz. The student is struggling a bit with multiplication. I'll show him some phone apps and computer math games tomorrow, and I'll begin drilling him regularly on his multiplication tables. "

"We started our session with a 7 minute warm up drill. While correcting the drill, we reviewed multi-digit multiplication, long division, and perimeter. For the rest of our session, we did an in depth review of fractions, starting with modeling simple fractions, then modeling improper fractions, and finally finishing by turning improper fractions into mixed numbers. We spent the final 10 minutes of our session reviewing how to complete the student's homework, which was on listing multiples of a fraction as well as writing a multiplication problem as a whole number and unit fraction. She was very engaged throughout our session and seemed to be very grateful we were reviewing fractions, which have been giving her some trouble. "

"We covered ecology, and the different types of ecosystems. She is a bright student who really does care, but she needs to understand that you must first study the notes and read the book and then answer the questions and review for a test. "

"Today the student and I practiced counting using money. He has greatly improved his mental math with set integers from when we last met. We finished our session by reading about sea turtles. He really seems to come alive when reading about animals. "
