"Today we finished the student's paper on the Catcher in the Rye. We also completed his math homework and reviewed the sections covered in class since our last session."

"Today the student and I went over the material from her milestone tests. I explained some of the concepts in detail, so she is fully confident about it. I also went over the method that she should use when going over her notes when studying for tests, and asked her to repeat that task for homework."

"We covered limits: properties, operations, and squeeze theorem. She seemed to understand most things upon explanation. I expect that she will do very well once we complete the review section and she remembers concepts from previous courses."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student and I reviewed his material for his upcoming math test. We worked on solving multi-step word problems, adding decimals, multiplying and dividing fractions, and solving absolute value problems. "

"The student worked 3/4 of the way through the area unit. She did well connecting how we can tile the rectangle to figure out area to the mathematical formula length x width. She struggled on the multi-step challenge problem at the middle of the unit. It gave her a 3x6 rectangle whose area she figured out like all the others, but then asked her to imagine how many rows you would need to add to make the first rectangle's area in between 25 and 36 square units and find the new area, length and width. I had her draw the problem to solve it, and as the unit progresses we will have more progress with imagining new areas. "

"Today, I covered some reading and comprehension questions with the student. I showed him new tricks to help him get the right answer. He is an exceptional student. I did see a few of his exams, and when we went over them, he realized where he went wrong, and I showed him ways to make sure he gets the right answer. I enjoy working with him and look forward to our next meeting. "

"We utilized the state assessment prep workbooks to continue preparation for the April assessment. We read a passage entitled "Levi Coffin: President of the Underground Railroad." The student was able to answer reading comprehension questions. The passage also assessed knowledge of various vocabulary words using context clues and prefixes. In mathematics, we focused on 3-digit subtraction. "

"In today's session, we decided to talk about the next topic and do a preview of some calculus concepts. After finishing using matrices to solve systems of linear equations, the next topic in the class is sequences and summations. I introduced these ideas and talked a little about the different ways of representing a sequence. We also looked at the example of the famous Fibonacci sequence. The student seemed really comfortable with this material, so we moved on to summations, and in particular, the Taylor series. This drove our discussion to a more general discussion of the topics he will see in calculus. We talked about both "what is the derivative" and "what is integration" and some of the applications of these ideas. We ended the session by discussing some math paradoxes and planned on working more on some calculus ideas for next session, to prepare him for taking BC calculus next year. "

"We reviewed quadratic equations and questions for the student's standardized exam that is coming up. Specifically, we went over: 1) what a quadratic equation is, 2) 4 ways to solve a quadratic equation (factoring, completing the square, using the quadratic formula, and graphing), 3) practice problems for solving quadratic equations, 4) why a quadratic equation might have 0, 1, or 2 solutions (we looked at what the graph for a quadratic equation looks like and how to know the number of solutions from using the quadratic formula), and 5) questions from the student's standardized exam review packet. She did a great job today. We reviewed the concepts that we have been practicing in the past few weeks. She should definitely review and memorize the quadratic formula before an exam. I would also recommend a tutoring session before a test."

"In this session, the student and I worked on another study guide provided by his teacher. This review covered solving quadratic equations by either factoring, completing the square or the quadratic equation. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The student and I reviewed her math homework for order of operations, then we spent the rest of the session working on how to construct algebraic equations from word problems. I also emailed his mom some exercises for him to practice with the rest of this week. "
