"The student is looking at ellipses. The first set of problems involved drawing the ellipse by looking at the equation and determining the foci. The second set of problems involved writing the equation after being given two sets of information (vertices, co-vertices, or foci). The third set of problems involved determining if an equation was a circle, parabola, or ellipse by looking at the equation and then drawing it. The student wanted to review for a quiz. We talked about each section 8.1-8.4 and wrote out the equations on a sheet together for the purpose of studying them."

"Today we practiced graphing more polynomial functions. The student is doing very well when she is prompted as to what the next step may be but still struggles a bit in trying to make decisions. I think the problem stems from her ability to easily memorize equations. She often creates lists of rules and learns them, but if a problem does not neatly fit into a rule there is confusion. Due to this fact, the major focus of the session was on understanding why equations took certain shapes. By the end of the lesson, she was doing very well, and additional practice problems such as the ones we were doing in the book may be beneficial. "

"First, we worked a problem from "Challenging Problems in Algebra." Next, we worked on quadratic equations with real and complex solutions. Then, we worked on solving polynomial equations by factoring. I gave the student problems to work from his book as well as a difficult problem from the above mentioned book. "

"The student and I reviewed notes from his Grade 5 math classwork, including but not limited to: finding the least common multiple between two numbers, finding the greatest common factor between two numbers, using the distributive property of multiplication over addition, finding the area of a rectangle using the distributive property, and utilizing the factor tree to find the least common multiple and greatest common factor. The student was cooperative and understood most of the material with some guided practice and prompts."

"We worked exclusively on essays today. We first went over the student's outline from last time, tweaking it to fit the specifications of the new SAT. In particular, we focused on how the essay should be analyzing the author's writing. He did one more outline and then wrote an introductory paragraph. He analyzes and reads very well, so our focus shifted to grammar (which he understands the rules for, but should take time to apply to his own writing)."

"Today, we worked on Challenge Problems 5.4 and 5.5; both were proofs of congruent triangles. We also discussed the student's final. The teacher prepared a lengthy review packet. So his mom printed me a copy so he and I can begin working on it each time we meet. "

"Today is the first day that I met with this student. I basically got a better understanding of the math curriculum that is being used at school. We worked on solving multiple-step word problems. He has a good understanding of this but needs to work on being more consistent. I also worked on reading comprehension with him because I wanted to get a better understanding of his reading level so I can bring in supplemental material to improve his reading skills."

"Today we covered more bar questions that had to do with contract law. The student has a good learning attitude and as long as she continues to study the core contract law principles, she should do fine on her exam."

"The student is studying for her Calculus final, so today, we worked on problems from her review sheet. These problems included finding limits and finding derivatives using the following techniques: chain rule, power rule, product rule, quotient rule, exponential and logarithmic differentiation, trigonometric differentiation, and any combination of these. The student understood these problems."

"Today we reviewed the student's graded lab on microevolution. We discussed referring to the data more when explaining the results or answering the questions, and some specific topic areas that could be added to her answers to improve her score in the future. We also began to review the reproductive system, starting with the anatomy. In the process, we reviewed meiosis and went on to review gametogenesis in both males and females. We used diagrams and figures in her textbook throughout our session."

"The student did very well this session. We worked on molar conversions, calculating molecular and empirical formulas, and identifying the different types of equations. We did practice problems for all of these, and he seemed to have a good handle on all of this material. He should be in good shape for his upcoming quiz. "
