"The student and I worked on graphing parabolas. We paid specific attention on the different way to interpret the functions and how they were related. We ended with a quick preview of what even and odd functions. "

"The student has a quiz on 8.1-8.4 this week so we went over those sections. We covered: working with expressions with exponents, multiplying terms with exponents, and raising powers to powers. We were able to cover a lot of ground, and he should be good to go on his quiz."

"We worked on problem solving in real world situations. The student had a math assignment but missed the previous day and didn't know how to do it. We found definitions of the terms. From this, he recalled the lesson and could complete most of the work. We also worked on history - European Imperialism. Again I showed him strategies to research using the index/ glossary."

"The student and I started by reviewing the test she took last week. She did know the material and solved the majority of the problems correctly. For the final problem, she ran out of time. I am having her take an Algebra assessment so that I can have some metrics on how she uses her time. Then we can work on time management strategies. She needs to make sure she knows how her teacher wants her to present her work and then use that formatting in her homework as well as on tests. We went through the final problem. She had some difficulty setting up the problem in such a way that it would be easy to solve. Many Algebra problems can be solved multiple ways and sometimes that makes the work more difficult. We talked about using methods that were more time effective since running out of time is common for her. We also went over her homework for the evening. She was working on solving systems of three equations. She was able to explain how to approach the problems. When we went through them, I reminded her about formatting and also suggested alternative ways to approach problems that may take fewer steps or otherwise make it easier. She and I didn't finish her problem set but she felt confident that she could finish the remaining problem on her own. She also let me know that she scored a 96 on her grammar quiz which is significantly higher than her other grades for grammar. "

"The student and I covered sequences, including identifying patterns, determining the equation for a sequence, and calculating specific terms in a sequence. She did pretty well identifying the pattern of a sequence, and we will continue to work more with finding the equations."

"We covered the following SAT Math strategies: 1. Find your starting point, figure out your path. 2. Look out for ways to simplify or manipulate an existing equation, or make an equation similar to another that they give you. Also look out for ways to create an equation using the info they give you. 3. (x+y)2=(x+y)(x+y)=x2+2xy+y2; (x-y)2=(x-y)(x-y)=x2-2xy+y2; x2-y2=(x-y)(x+y) >>when you see variables with exponents like this keep thinking about how you could modify the equation to make it work to your benefit. 4. Skip over questions that you think are going to take too long. Come back to them at the end. "

"The student has a quiz tomorrow, so we reviewed the four sections that will be covered - special right triangles (30-60-90 and 45-45-90), finding missing angles of triangles, isosceles and equilateral triangles, and determining triangles given side lengths. She did well on the practice problems I gave her. We also had some time at the end to discuss an alternate strategy for geometric mean. She can practice using it if it is something she thinks will be helpful. "

"We worked on algebra today, based on the student's PSAT report indicating it as his weakest area. He gets confused sometimes between the mathematical operations of exponents and multiplication/ division, so we had to review those. We worked mostly on algebraic fractions, exponents, and factoring, and tackled a couple of these expressed as word problems. He did well, needing some direction in some cases when he was stuck. I'm giving him an SAT math section as homework for our next meeting."

"The student and I met to review over her math work. We worked on both algebra 2 and chemistry. She had missed a couple of days of school and needed to review in math briefly. For chemistry, we spent time calculating the amount of energy required for a compound to undergo a state change. Initially, she had no idea how to approach these problems, but was able to complete the last homework problems without my assistance. We worked on drawing the state transition diagram to help her visualize what calculations needed to be done. She has a quiz on this material in the next couple of days. "

"We worked on rotational statics and some energy applications to rotational motion. Today the main struggles were figuring out where to start a problem and with small mistakes. To aid this, he will be creating a study sheet with all the equations so he's familiar with them which should help him decide what is important in each problem. Picking out algebra errors comes with clearer work and more experience, and studying should help both. Good attitude as usual. "

"The student is working on solving multi-step algebraic equations - including word problems. Once we reviewed the steps, she caught on quickly. I encouraged her to write down each step and continually reinforced the relationships between addition-subtraction-multiplication-division. "
