"We covered laws of exponents and radicals; simplifying exponential and radical functions; linear regression and how to use a graphing calculator for statistic plots; what positive and negative correlations mean. "

"Today's session with the student was extremely productive. We worked on graphing trigonometric functions, specifically cosine and sine. This is always a hard topic for any student, but her attitude was so positive that I rejoiced with her progress throughout. The strategy for graphing involves finding period first by using the (2a—pi/frequency) equation, then dividing the period into four equal parts, before taking the max zero and min values of the function with respect to the baseline. This process takes time and meticulousness. But as mentioned before, the student's attitude allowed her to slowly progress through the material to the point where she was graphing multiple functions on the same graph. She made a great start with this complex material."

"The student had had one quiz since the last time we met and he scored an 82. We went through the quiz and determined that his mistakes were a result of going too quickly and not writing down his work. He is exceptionally quick at flipping numbers around in his head, but he needs to focus on writing down each of his steps. When he does this, he rarely makes errors. We then reviewed his most recent homework assignment, which extends what we've covered about adding/subtracting/multiplying/dividing integers into real life applications. For example, they learned the equations for converting between Fahrenheit and Celsius. To be able to use these equations required knowledge of basic algebra, knowing the order of operations (PEMDAS), and then applying rules of integers. When he writes out all of his work, he easily gets these problems right. We will continue working on building good problem solving habits and being organized as the math he is learning becomes more complicated. "

"Today we started to talk about how to strategize for the SAT. We specifically talked about the grammar section. Simplifying a sentence by getting rid of excess modifiers and clauses can often make it easier to see the right answer. Another pointer: the harder grammar questions near the end of a section often focus on tricky preposition rules, and also often are written in awkward passive voice to obfuscate the right answer. "

"Today, we went over the chain rule and implicit differentiation. The student was attentive throughout the session. I told him to read the textbook more and to work more practice problems. I also told him to check the answers in the back of the book after he was done with the problem."

"I worked on getting the student to understand how to combine the topics of the Pythagorean theorem, slope, intercepts and making equations from lines. I focused a little bit more today on the Pythagorean theorem, particularly how to work with the ideas of square roots, cube roots, and squares as a means to accurately solve for the Pythagorean theorem."

"We continued reviewing for the student's calculus exam for this coming Monday. We started by solving a few basic PreCalc problems on his study guide. We worked out a few limits, and some derivatives. We did a few conceptual limit problems where the task is to relate the given limit to the first principle definition of a derivative. We worked out a tangent line problem, and a secant line problem. We're going to move on tomorrow and work out some of the remaining problems on his study sheet. Questions on implicit differentiation, related rates (word problems), critical points, extrema, and curve sketching will be on the agenda."

"This particular day we reviewed time. Because the student was having a difficult time grasping the concept of adding and subtracting time intervals, I incorporated a game and he loved it. Being that the game was fun and interactive, he was able to understand the concept, therefore he should be able to apply the game in his work and to real life concepts. "

"Today we worked on forces. The student did not struggle with the material and his attitude was positive throughout the session. I included strategies to simplify the material. "

"The student worked on homework he was behind on. This included story problems using division and multiplication, fact families, and multiplication of multidigit numbers. Next session I would like to focus on his vocabulary words and their meanings. "

"Today we got to do a lab involving heat chemistry. We burned marshmallows and peanuts and attempted to measure the heat output by monitoring temperature change. While we were not very precise, we did get to see how the process of calorimetry worked, and we had the opportunity to discuss the relationship between nutrition and physical chemistry. We then looked ahead and introduced the concept of equilibrium reactions."
