"We worked on math problems on line segments, rays and angles. We also worked on character descriptions."

"I worked with the student on math to help him understand division with remainders. We reviewed subtracting with regrouping. I introduced him to the fact tree to help him see the relationship between multiplication and division. I emphasized the importance of writing clearly in math so that simple mistakes are avoided. "

"The student and I worked on adding and subtracting integers. She said that she has made 100s on quizzes since I began tutoring her. She was expecting to take a quiz on adding and subtracting integers. I drilled her on each of these operations. She had also been introduced to graphing on the coordinate grid. We also reviewed graphing coordinates. She is highly enthusiastic and steadily showing improvement. I stressed the rules for adding and subtracting integers, and we labeled the quadrants and discussed the signs of the x,y coordinates in each quadrant. We completed a challenge/ mystery graphing activity from her textbook; she thought this was great and I plan to bring additional activities of this sort for our next session. I checked her homework which was all correct. She gave me a copy of the syllabus given her by her teacher. We went over graded papers that she had earned."

"I have switched gears to review grammar with the student. We went over nouns, verbs, and adjectives. He struggled a little with adjectives, but otherwise he did well. He had to rewrite some sentences and write sentences to the grammar we were covering. We will work further on adjectives."

"Today we worked on proofs and proving congruent triangles. These are relatively new concepts for the student and she has a rough understanding of the material. With the material came a lot of new lingo that she needs to get used to using and applying. This will come with practice. I gave her a couple of websites to go to and play around with proofs. This will help her acclimate to the new vocabulary and concepts. Overall, she is doing great. "

"Today the student and I worked on the first section from unit 6 of her textbook. We discussed adding and subtracting rational expressions with like and unlike denominators. Overall I felt the session went very well. The student was actively engaged and participated the entire time. She seemed to have a better understanding of the material by the end and told me that she understood what I was doing. She stopped me or asked questions when she had them. She is a little shaky on a few concepts so I will email her a couple of good resources that will hopefully supplement my sessions. We will continue our review on Sunday evening after she has hopefully had a chance to glance at some of the resources that I will email her."

"Our primary focus was on geometry. We covered similar triangles and dilation/ expansion. The student's a bit weak on arithmetic, but the two main topics that she had difficulty with (calculating proportions of similar triangles and dilation factors) were both covered. She shouldn't have a problem with the exam. I had her ask the teacher for something regarding the proofs, but she should be fine for the exam. "

"We did some more review from problems that the student's teacher handed out. The first part was derivatives and the second part was antiderivatives. He did fine on the derivatives, just made some simple mistakes. He needs to work on double checking his work to catch those kinds of mistakes. He did well on the antiderivatives, too, but not as well as the derivatives. He still needs to work on memorizing the trig function values."

"I am very impressed with the student's progress thus far. She is reading much faster and making fewer mistakes. Her tone is more fluid and natural. We read two chapters today, which is usually what we read per session, on average. The speed of her reading has increased greatly. When we first started her reading log two weeks ago, she was reading 60-70 wpm. Today she read 100+. We made eight new flashcards from today's reading and then reviewed her reading homework, a two-page excerpt about Henry the Navigator. It was very dry and had a lot of jargon in it, so to make it more fun and easy to follow, we took turns reading each sentence in a funny voice. She really enjoyed this and it kept her engaged. "

"I clarified solving for the equations for the volume of a sphere, cone, and cylinder. We are also working on getting the student ready for her challenge exam. We reviewed solving multi-step equations, solving percents, graphing inequalities, solving equations using proportions, and identifying the classifications of real numbers. "

"The student and I covered sections 9.6 through 9.9 from her book. These sections deal with solving quadratic equations. She was very comfortable with section 9.6, solving the quadratic equation by finding the zero.9.7 didn't come to her as quickly as 9.6, but after practicing many problems and helping her recognize the she needs to rearrange the equations so she can find the perfect squares, she became much better at solving those problems. Finally, she and I went over some 9.9 problems and I gave her a twelve-minute mock test. Her exam was on Wednesday and I have no doubt that she should do well. We discussed her last quiz in which she scored a 30/38 which is about a 78%. We plan to go over the problems she missed when she gets her exam back. She feels she is doing better in math than she was and that having extra help is beneficial. She is a very intelligent young lady who is nice and respectful. "
