"We covered: converting from standard form to slope intercept form and graphing. We also went over: comparing fractions and multiplication drills. "

"Today we worked on the properties when dealing with real numbers, classifying numbers, algebraic expressions, simplifying expressions, radicals, simplifying expressions with radicals, operations on radicals, etc. The student worked on the homework problems assigned from school and visited a couple sections ahead and reviewed what is coming next."

"Today, the student and I began preparing for his midterm which will be mid-December. The midterm will cover 4 units and today, we began with unit 1. We went over the posted study guide in order to determine what he was and was not familiar with. Whenever he had trouble with a certain problem, we looked up the class notes on the problem area or I reminded him of the correct method to solve the problem. I also wrote down the problems that he struggled with so we could go over them next time we meet. He mostly makes small mistakes because he thinks the problems is way too easy so he doesn't take his time with it. I reminded him that this is a huge problem and he needs to slow down and check his work, especially on big tests like the midterm."

"The student went over the same algebra material from before, with him finishing problems that he could turn in for credit. He again displayed immense comprehension of underlying mathematical concepts. We tried a few new learning concepts--the first meeting, we tore up bits of paper to show how expressions are inverted when traveling across the equals sign. At our second session we used a whiteboard to lay out problems, and today we used tables and illustrations to describe the problem, and by the end he displayed competence with the material. He will master this material in time."

"In this session, we reviewed for a quiz. The majority of the content was about manipulating and transforming functions, and the effect it has on the graphical output. These included inverses, shifts, stretches, translations, and reflections. When the student took the time to write out problems, he had no problems understanding or completing the material."

"We worked through a review worksheet the student had for her upcoming exam. There were only three questions, but each had multiple parts and some of them were pretty advanced. She did well with the basic material but some of the more abstract concepts were still a struggle. It also seems like the new teacher she has this trimester puts all past material on each test, similar to a final, rather than focusing on the current concepts. We have been covering old material so hopefully that improves her grade on the upcoming exam. "

"During the session, the student and I reviewed his study guide for the chapter 9 test. He shared with me that he had been going over the study guide with the rest of the class as well as meeting with his teacher in the mornings. I left him with some notes on how to work out some of the problems. At the end of our session I suggested to him that he look over the review key before the test. "

"We worked on regular and irregular verbs. We also worked with the rules for when to pronounce past tense verbs with t, id, and ord. We will be repeating this and working on it more so that the student can get it. She is using many more past tense verbs than she was when we started. She is working hard, but the irregularities and exceptions of the English language can be frustrating. We will continue to work on these, and she is doing very well. "

"Today we worked on the following concepts: graphing a line using a table of values and using the slope/intercept; putting linear equations in 'calculator ready' form. The student was very receptive to instruction and she worked well for the entire session. I am looking forward to our next session!"

"The student was able to get an example from his teacher on the question that stumped him on the free response. It involved a chart of f(t) and t values, and required him to approximate f' and function values using the tangent and secant lines, and whether or not they were over or underestimates. We also worked on an optimization problem involving the cost of production and profit of cable dependent on its length. After practicing the free response, we moved on to practicing multiple-choice questions. We focused on calculator questions. He still needs some practice with trig and u-substitution, but for the most part he's doing well. The AP test is on Thursday, so we're having sessions on Monday and Tuesday to prepare. "

"The first student is working on division using decimals in her answer. She is doing well with this concept, and is making minor or no errors. Her errors were made when she tried to check her work. We did a mini-lesson on multiplying decimals. The second student worked on rounding to the nearest ten. She is struggling with rounding. We have also been identifying odd and even numbers. The last thing we have been working on is saying numbers with the right place value. "
