"I reviewed the student's Unit 9 worksheet with her thoroughly this afternoon. I especially focused on questions where she had written an answer (presumably from copying the teacher's on the board during class) but hadn't shown any work. I asked the student about the setup and steps needed to solve the problems, eventually revealing that she didn't really know or needed practice. I then led her through the reasoning and steps and had her practice and write out notes. We finished by checking grades in each class."

"The student worked on a Math practice test to prepare for next week's state assessment. She got 10/10 on the domain 4 cumulative assessment and all problems correct for the additional practice problems I gave her to work on, comparing and ordering fractions."

"The student had a packet assigned from school, so we worked on that. It covered exponents, positive and negative, with and without variables, and distributed. Once she understood the rules for dealing with them, she was able to complete two pages without much help. She is very good at paying attention to the details, and makes sure to write down each step, so she doesn't often make little systematic errors that can be a common problem for other students. The last page involved scatter plots and estimations, and she was able to finish it with no problem. Her final is coming up, so we will see if we can get in an extra session next week to be sure she is fully prepared."

"On the first day we worked on essay prompts, specifically looking at how to describe an initial reaction to the prompt, and structuring our arguments. The student examined the difference between the opinions and thoughts people hold and what they express in public or different contexts. Then we practiced math problems from the practice SAT. Today we covered math. I taught her the slot machine approach to combinatorics problems (my favorite approach), how to manipulate exponents and radicals, and introduced her to modular arithmetic, which she learned quickly. In general, she is more than capable of understanding and solving the problems. Any issues she has with math or tests are likely issues with confidence; she has more than enough talent. Next Monday we'll do more practice and build her confidence."

"The student is working on complex fractions this week. We are focused on simplifying the expressions with multiple fraction as part of them. He did a good job during the session and felt very confident with the subject after the meeting."

"We started out with a quick lesson on inequalities. The student's got a quiz coming up on inequalities, and I wanted to review it, though he has a firm grasp on the concept. I then continued my lesson on two-variable equations and graphing. We got as far as discussing parallel and perpendicular lines. Then we worked through some math problems in the practice test, including a system-of-equations problem that he did a very good job with."

"Today we continued doing inequalities and a new concept that was introduced, which was compound inequalities. I think the student seems to be getting the hang of these, but it will take more practice and exposure before she is really confident. Overall, in terms of the math, I think she will get much more confident within the week. It's just a matter of learning and memorizing a few more rules that are introduced with this new concept. Have a great week!"

"We went over a past test of the student's and covered various topics on that, including integration by parts, fundamental theorem of calculus, separable differential equations, and then once we finished reviewing that, we covered his most recent topic: partial fractions. Both integration by parts and partial fractions are college level calculus concepts that aren't covered in the AP Calc AB curriculum, so I was very surprised and impressed to see that he is covering these subjects in his studies."

"We prepared for the student's test by reviewing the concepts of the chapter and doing the review. She understands the concepts, but needs to write out every step. She likes to see her work written out and I think it is important. We also discussed things to go over with her teacher. I told her walking back through the problems and seeing if she can retrace her steps will make her feel more confident and help her catch mistakes. Reviewing her problems is going to go a long way in making her feel more confident with the material. "

"After last night's review, I identified some areas that the student needed extra practice in, including writing expressions, arithmetic sequences, absolute value inequalities, and unit matching problems. I was able to come up with plenty of practice problems to review these concepts with him. After a few of each type of problem, he was able to get to the correct answer while displaying full understanding. The only topic he continued to be shaky on was unit matching - which I will continue to provide practice in. Tomorrow, we plan to review residuals and then get into his 3rd and 4th semester packets to review."

"The student did not have other homework, so we worked on his history presentation. We started the PowerPoint presentation. Though we did not add copious amounts of content, we worked out a general structure for the presentation, and revisiting our earlier research seemed to help solidify his understanding of his topic.
