Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
The student did very well on her most recent science exam covering the periodic table and basic chemistry (atoms and molecules, atomic number and mass, etc.). We reviewed Bohr models and more science related to the periodic table for an upcoming quiz/exam. We also covered more algebra. This time it did not require finding mathematical models, but instead was more related to graphing and determining average rate of change or average speed from graphs. The student has a good grasp on second differences now.

We focused more on fractions for this session. The student needs to continue practicing how to find the common denominator when adding and subtracting fractions. We also began turning improper fractions into mixed numbers. I have not seen any scores that have been sent home from previous exams. The student has a very positive attitude and wants to get better each session. She especially loves the games we play with the flash cards and she has gotten very fast.

We started from his sample final exam, but soon we reverted to some algebraic basic concepts. The student has good mathematical skills, his numeracy is good and he learns quickly. Months after his last calculus class, he has a lot to dust off, but also a lot to learn in a new and more intuitive/ visual perspective. We will do all the problems of his sample exam first, together or by himself, before passing to a more structured theory review.

The student had two things to work on. First she had a worksheet with ten problems covering adding and subtracting rational expressions. Some were separate fractions to combine together while others were fractions inside of fractions. She worked each one and I checked her work on them. She got most correct on her own and just needed a little help on final answer format. Then she had some questions on a review they went over in class before a test this coming Tuesday, and we finished the session going over those questions.

Today we reviewed quickly so concepts from previous lessons, but then jumped right into questions involving functions. We looked at how to solve for f(g(x)) and so forth. From there, we moved back into coordinate plane stuff, using circles as a way to use the distance formula (Pythagorean theorem). We also found the areas of shapes in the coordinate plane.

The student said his test went well and he knew how to do most of the questions so I am interested to see his score back when he gets it. Today we worked through a review packet from a previous test on triangles and their properties. He was already tested on this material and did not do well, but his teacher is letting students test again. We were able to boil the packet down to a few key concepts to remember and he was doing pretty well with the practice problems I was giving him by the end of the session. I expect that he will definitely do better on the retake than he did on the original.
