"I am working with the student on going over her homework assignments in-depth. She is starting to work with angles and geometry so we did some extra practice problems in that area as well as a reading comprehension exercise and some drill addition and subtraction math problems. The student is continuing to maintain good focus and defend her reasoning for arriving at her answers. We will keep practicing learned material for good reinforcement and work on the new material as she practices it in her homework assignments!"

"The student and I started our lesson with a free-writing exercise and corrected it for grammatical errors. He then started working on a state grade 4 math assessment, which covers all areas of math that a student leaving 4th grade and entering 5th grade should have mastered. He breezed through basic arithmetic and simple word problems, but he was more perplexed by multiple step word problems, so we worked through those together and will practice more of those types of problems at our next meeting. We finished the lesson with another short writing exercise, which we corrected for grammatical errors."

"We continued the same format as last time. The student emailed me the paper that he had to read and answer questions about. I informed him beforehand that it is best for him to read the paper to understand the big picture and not try to understand all the details in the article. Before we went into the questions I explained a little bit about molecular biology, since the article was discussing gene activation. The student struggled to find the best words to explain his answer. Sometimes it seemed like he didn't have confidence in himself, so I would encourage him that he was on the right track. Although it was a difficult paper to dissect with minimal biology experience, he did a great job at trying to find the main points of the paper. "

"We spent the majority of the session on calculus. We went through the product and quotient rules, which the student knew how to use without any assistance. We spent a lot of time talking about simple harmonic motion, both in terms of calculus (comparing the graphs of the derivatives) and physics (is the block on a spring accelerating / what direction is the velocity / how do you know?). The student is doing a great job relating physics and calculus concepts. We ended the session by looking at last year's AP free response questions and talking through the ones that he already knows how to do."

"During this session, we focused on using the first and second derivatives of a function to find where the function is increasing or decreasing; what the function's concavity is; and where the function has local maxima, minima, or inflection points. We also discussed how to use the graph of the derivative of a function to find the above information and to create a rough sketch of the original graph. By the end of the session, the student seemed much more comfortable with which functions are used at which points of this process and was prepared to tackle the remainder of his homework assignment."

"The student said that he had an upcoming mid-term. We then went back to factoring trinomials. I had him do a few examples with a value of 1. I then had him work on trinomials that had a value other than 1. He struggled with the algebra, but throughout the session, he did seem to better understand the method for solving the questions. We will continue to work on this."

"We worked on the student's review for her algebra 2 final. We covered the vertex form of a quadratic equation, and completing the square method for converting quadratic equations into a vertex form. We also worked on graphing quadratic equations."

"The student had a test this past week on radical expressions. We went over his test review, and started work on interpreting variation of variables (inverse and direct proportionality). We need to go over his basic arithmetic and concepts from algebra 1, as the gaps in his foundation are starting to show. We will meet again on Monday to organize and prepare for the rest of the semester."

"We went over inverse matrices, encoding and decoding messages with matrices, and solving systems of equations with the inverse matrix method. "

"The student had started a new chapter in Pre-Calc which dealt with limits and introduction of derivatives. We worked through example problems from the chapter and then also worked through worksheets that the teacher had given. I will bring her some extra practice next time."

"During this session, the student and I looked through the problems in his mathematics packet from school, as many of the concepts in his packet are second-grade concepts being taught at the end of his first-grade year. This includes basic multiplication and division, which the student had a hard time understanding. I used counting objects (i.e., my coloring pens) to demonstrate equal distribution as a function of division, but the student still had difficulty transferring the concept to his math homework. Future sessions will focus on helping him understand the basics of these operations. Furthermore, we worked through some connect-the-dot worksheets in order to help him learn how to skip count by 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s to begin laying the groundwork for learning multiplication and division.
