"For our second session, the student worked through some math homework. He had a junior high school achievement test the next day, so we went over a couple of test-prep strategies and basic outlines to have a successful test session. He told me that he passed all his quizzes this week, which was certainly satisfying to hear."

"In the beginning of the session, we did a practice on finding the limits using the laws of the limits and calculating the average and instantaneous velocity. The second part of the session we calculated limits using the precise definition of limits using â‚¬ and Â£. We calculated the delta for the given epsilon using the graph of the functions, then using the formula of the function. Next we found out the delta for the given value of epsilon. Moreover, we proved that limits exist, using a precise definition of limits."

"The student and I reviewed place value (ones place, tens place, hundreds and thousands). We reviewed how to write a number in standard form gives the digits in the respective place value. We then moved on to multiplication and division by 10 (diagnostic assessment)."

"The student had homework on vertical asymptotes and holes. We did problems on that until he was comfortable with the material. He also had problems on solving polynomials via factoring and algebraic manipulation (LCD)."

"We reviewed the last section dealing with graphing points on a coordinate plane and reflecting them. The student was struggling with remembering all the rules for reflection so we took quite a bit of time refreshing her memory and modifying her notes. We worked on order of operations and she did quite well with the concepts. She was grasping it very well. "

"Helped the student complete his homework problems this evening. Concepts he needed help with included adding and subtracting negative numbers in an expression and finding the area of a circle and a triangle. He was focused and did a nice job. "

"We specifically covered the midpoint and distance equations when it came to line segments and graphing. The student had no knowledge of the material beforehand and was struggling most with remembering the equation. He liked the process we were using and enjoyed working on it. He is doing well."

"The student and I had a great first session. We went over a few homework problems and concepts that he was struggling with. He did a great job identifying his mistakes and working through problems on the whiteboard. One tricky topic we discussed was disjoining limits, which occurs when right and left sided limits do not match up. We discussed him continuing to work on the homework sets and meeting again next week to work through the problems."

"The student and I worked on geometry questions, reviewing topics involving calculating the volumes of various prisms, pyramids, cones, etc. We also worked on word problems for calculating various dimensions of these shapes by setting up equations and manipulating them to solve for unknowns."

"We covered binomial theorem, combinations/permutations, and probability in preparing for the student's test tomorrow. She struggled with the binomial theorem most, and I encouraged her to study this some more tonight. She did very well with probability. I look forward to working on improving her AP Stats test-taking in our next two sessions!"

"The student was eager to finish his daily math worksheet. After checking through it, I found mistakes in four of the five problems. These were multi-step word problems where he did not read through closely enough to determine all the steps before finding the answer. I had him re-read the problem and asked him some questions, and he figured out what he did wrong and how to correct it in each case. I explained how he determined his mistakes on his own, and he could do this himself on a test after he finishes before he turns in his paper. He also finished his math homework pages in his book on surface area of cuboids. He did well on that and had time to finish the sentences section of his vocabulary book too. He wanted to work on his Life Video project, so I made sure we had time at the end for him to show me the video, and we discussed ways he could add to it and improve it. "
