"We covered exponents and radicals. He was very positive toward learning, always asking questions. I left him with a problem to go over. We had a big win with past tests and negative exponents. We are going to continue to work on exponents. A study skill I gave him was to always look over your work. "

"Reviewed 3x2-digit multiplication, mixed math word problems, and finding equivalent fractions. Started looking at 1x2 and 3x2 division."

"We went over more probability questions. His biggest issue is reading and following directions. When the question asks for a fraction and percentage, he will give one answer but not the other. His concept of the math is really good."

"The student had a great session! He has really improved in his mental math usage. He is really mastering his flashcards and we will be moving on to a more advanced set. He also read a very difficult book where he had to use his word detection tools to identify unknown words. We will continue to work on fluency and writing skills."

"We covered a lot tonight! We covered chapters 19 and 20, though we went more into detail over the parts the student had covered in class to ensure she understood the concepts. She asked great questions tonight and seemed to understand the topics easier. I gave her suggestions on what she should go back and study again in more detail."

"Today, we practiced multiplying fractions with a focus on word problems that required multiple steps to complete. The student is very good at solving straight-forward problems that require only mathematical computation. When we worked on word problems, he needed to be guided in what steps to take. We then practiced about 6 or 7 word problems until he did not need any guidance on how to solve the problems. Problems included multiple fractions and using multiplication between whole numbers and fractions. We also went ahead and practiced multiplying mixed numbers by changing them to fractions first. He did not have a problem with this, so he should be prepared for this week. "

"We covered questions about functions and lines. Some of the concepts were new for the student. In addition to learning new concepts, reviewing familiar concepts was also helpful to him. I helped him break problems down into smaller steps so that he knew how to apply the concepts. He was able to do most kinds of problems related to functions and lines on his own by the end of the session. "

"The student worked on finding the area of parallelograms and trapezoids. Thea knew the formulas for area, identified what values she needed and was able to use orders of operations to correctly calculate the area. She quickly evaluated what information she needed to solve word problems as well. After she finished her worksheet, she and I reviewed comparing fractions. We used a visual guide to compare different fractions and then compared fractions with decimals. She learned how to convert a fraction into a decimal using division, and then compared decimals. "

"The student worked on her homework during our session. She completed her math assignment, which involved measurement, time, and subtraction. She was able to complete the math independently, once it was read to her. She completed two activities on her spelling board; she was able to do the activities with a lot of encouragement. She worked hard. She reread her take-home book from school. She enjoyed the text and had great comprehension. She has been benefiting from using her high comprehension skills to help decode an unknown word; she does this by skipping the unknown word, reading to the end of the sentence, and then going back and solving the word. She worked hard throughout this session and was proud of all that she accomplished. "

"The student asked for help with his math homework. The topic was dividing decimals. When I realized Julian didn't seem to understand overall decimal concepts, we spent the entire session discussing decimals. I began by pointing out that he knows some things about decimals, because he understands money. This seemed to encourage him. Specifically, I noticed he hadn't been writing the decimals in the problem when performing decimal addition. Sometimes his sum was incorrect because the decimals were not lined up. I explained the importance of lining up decimals when doing addition and subtraction. I also used Legos and prior pages of his homework workbook to explain decimal concepts. At the end of our session, he told me he remembered having learned some things about decimals in school. I plan to work with him on decimals in future sessions. "

"In today's session, we went over concepts regarding populations and its dynamics. We explored topics such as factors affecting population growth/decline, breeding methods in populations, different growth models, and the types of phases that growth trends tend to go through. We also started to look at ecology and the different types of niches. The student was positive throughout the session, as this material was easier to digest than previous topics we have covered before. We highlighted keywords and I made sure the student understood and explain those major concepts. We will review some more next week as he prepares for his last test and the final exam. "
