"Today the student and I briefly talked about what we had gone over before. Her ability to identify which statistical tests to use has increased greatly, but the real change is in her confidence. She is very confident in knowing what to do when, which is great. I am not worried about her digesting specific methods. We went over t- vs z- distributions and the central limit theorem to help her with specifics that I believe will come up on her exam. Our main focus was research design. We discussed research design and errors by going through one of the old tests from her University together. After she told me how she would approach each question, I then told her my approach, and we discussed. This is helping her fill in the blanks, especially when it comes with when to use specific terms such as type I error and maturation effects. The student's homework for today was to work through 1-2 more of her old tests and generate any questions that she still has. We will meet for one last pre-exam session tomorrow at 4:00pm CST to go over any last minute questions."

"We worked primarily on finding the area of a triangle and studying for the student's science test. She did well with the triangles. She's starting to show an understanding of area, which will need to be reviewed, and how to find the area of a triangle. She did struggle a bit with finding the rectangle that the triangle needed to fit into to find the width and length, but by the end, she was doing this with accuracy. In science, she was strong on most concepts, but could use review of vocabulary and how the phases of the moon work."

"I worked with Student 1 on solving inequalities using multiplication and division. He showed a basic understanding. He grew confused when multiplying and dividing negative numbers since the inequality sign has to switch, but with repetition, he was able to grasp the concept and graph the solved inequality better. Student 2 worked on basic terms within algebra, like variables and constants. We worked towards being able to solve for variables within algebraic equations."

"We worked on the online math problem engine, which got increasingly difficult the more questions the student solved correctly. There were several problems about the number of cubes that would fit into boxes, or the surface area of small cubes cut from a large cube. There were several problems that required either use of the quadratic formula or educated guessing plus a lot of pencil-and-paper calculation. There were problems about the number of possible arrangements of digits in a telephone number, about the area of an irregular pentagon which could be broken into triangles and rectangles, about the slope and intercepts of a line, about averages and modes and medians, and about sequences that were neither arithmetic nor geometric. For a word problem involving two variables, I showed him how to write a pair of equations and solve them using substitution. Overall, it was a very productive session, and he was alert, curious, flexible, and creative - as always."

"The student and I met this afternoon to look over a practice DBQ she had in class and to begin discussing and reviewing the Reconstruction and Gilded Age eras in US history. She continues to do well in her class, maintaining a 90 as the term comes to a close."

"The student had a quiz the other day, so we focused on reviewing fundamental properties of algebra. We worked on order of operations in solving single-variable equations. She initially had some trouble with these, but after doing twenty problems, she seemed to be getting quicker. She said the most confusing situation was when the variable was in the denominator. We will continue to work on that. "

"This was my first time meeting the student. We went over his weekly packet. He seemed to be great on his addition facts. "

"We had a great opportunity to go over the student's previous test. She actually did quite a bit of excellent work on the test. Three of the six mistakes involved not moving the decimal point to the right two places when changing from a decimal to a percentage. We have cleared this issue up by using the percentage ratios of P/100 = change /original when finding the percent increase or decrease. When using this method, there is no need to move the decimal point at all. Her procedure, multiplication, and division were all correct. Two mistakes were from rounding the percentage to the nearest ten instead of one's place. Her basic work and conceptual understanding was on target. We went over the current section and reviewed her homework on probabilities. As we reviewed the homework, she found her own mistakes and corrected them. With the time left, we previewed the sections that will be coming up next week."

"We covered geometric means, angles of elevation or depression, and trig functions of right triangle (sine, cosine, tangent) and how to find lengths of sides and angles using those functions. We reviewed the student's homework for two sections as well as the review. She was comfortable with everything and seems ready for her test. She should redo the homework multiple times to prepare for her test. "

"I reviewed two of the English worksheets I left with the student to work on her own. One of the worksheets focused on spelling and the other on reading and sight words. She did well on both worksheets. She has improved in these areas of reading and spelling since our first session. Following that, I had the student work on a fill-in-the-blank English worksheet using sight words. Once finished, she then worked on a spelling worksheet, which required her to identify the correctly spelled word. Lastly, the student continued working on her short story (which has allowed her apply what she has learned thus far). Overall, the student did great! "

"Today's session was a continuation from last session. We continued to work on her calculus study guide, and finished all the integral and derivative problems. This session really tested the student's memory on sin, cos, tan, and USUb. She struggled a little bit with implicit differentiation, so we will definitely review it again tomorrow. Her homework is to finish the study guide, and to retrieve her past exams for practice. "
