"The student and I met from 2:30 to 4:30. We discussed reflections and rotations of geometric figures. We reviewed the problems on one worksheet and then started working on the MOGEA practice test. He and I focused on visualizing math and discussed confidence. We worked a few word problems and discussed strategy for word problems and started a Math-English dictionary. Good session. "

"The student is gearing for her last exam in her math class and to prepare for this she has been given a big math packet reviewing the entire semester's material (though this last test is not a cumulative final exam). The packet began with a review of the order of operations, multiplication/division/addition/subtraction of integers (positive and negative) with fractions and mixed numbers and a review of roots/squares/cube roots/cubes. As always, with numerically presented problems she has very, very little difficulty and solves everything with great ease, making only very occasional minor mistakes. The main point of review today was recovering our old, tried-and-true method for approaching word problems to break down why they pose such a challenge and how to mitigate this. In short, the goal is to filter the important information and record it to increase the density of information and remove the "fluff" that word problems almost universally provide. We want to take word problems in a step-by-step approach, looking at each sentence individually and recording all the pertinent information that we can. If we are working with an unknown, we want to clearly label a variable to represent it, and take what pertinent information we have recorded to write things in terms of our variable. We were able to work through the first couple of word problems in her packet."

"In the tutoring session, I went over an Algebra 2 packet with the student. We covered solving equations, inequalities, absolute values, relations, functions, composition of functions, graphing, domain and range. Over all, I think his problem was that he did not remember the topics. Once he knew what to do, he was able to effectively answer the problems. He seemed focused on wanting to cover as much as possible in the time frame that we had. Since this was a one time kind of session, I gave him some tips on remembering the topics we covered. "

"The student and I reviewed her geometry homework in our time together. In addition to this homework we went over some formulas and tricks regarding rectangles, squares, and triangle including Pythagorean theorem. "

"We went through the student's exam review. We solved several questions on chemical equations, oxidation numbers, mass%, percent yield, solubility, redox reactions, mole calculations, and balancing equations. I explained the concept as well as how she has to use the given information to answer each question. She is doing well."

"This was a good session. We focused again on polynomial fractions. In this way we focused on new concepts of how to create holes and asymptotes. We also focused on how to create horizontal and slant asymptotes. We worked on converting graphs into equations as well as graphing new equations."

"We discussed the student's homework on simplifying expressions involving the rules of exponents. We talked about exponent rules and worked through the whole section. She was unsure about how to get started, but once we started talking and working, she picked it up quickly. We also started her next assignment."

"The student and I continued to work on his essay. This time, he came prepared with a draft of his second claim paragraph. We worked on breaking down some of his longer sentences to make the paragraph flow better and using quotes in different places throughout the paragraph to make the sentences make more sense."

"The student and I started by reviewing English and math - two of his areas of concern. We were able to make significant progress in these areas and he seemed more comfortable with a good amount of material in both sections after a bit of exposure. I believe there is a good amount of low hanging fruit that he will be able to grasp prior to the next test."

"This was another session dealing with graphing. To aid us, and so that we weren't trying to attain accuracy on a whiteboard, I gave the student a present in the form of a package of graphing paper. I often asked him for the corresponding value of Y for a large X (and vice versa). We also covered the idea that the intersection of two lines yielded a point that worked for both equations, and at the end, I introduced the idea of generating a line if you're only given a point on the line and the line's slope. We will expand on these ideas on Monday."

"We talked about oxidation and reduction reactions, the definitions of reach, products of acid-base reactions, single displacement reactions, finding the concentration of an ion in a solution, finding the empirical formula, solving for oxidation numbers of elements in a molecule, and activity series. The thing the student struggled most was solving for half-reactions since they were pretty new, yet are complicated, difficult problems. The student was studying pretty hard since the test is tomorrow."
