"Today, we reviewed student's previous exams. Specifically going over problems which he got wrong, but also pointing out ones that he got right to keep him positively motivated in his mathematics courses. Most of the problems we went over were on log properties, and then a few on limits and graphs. At the end of the session, I did a quick overview of physics from equations of motion to centripetal forces. "

"We started the review for her final. This consisted of defining terms, explaining the difference between similar terms, and drawing position vs time and velocity vs time graphs."

"Today we studied Pearson's correlation coefficient, r, and methods of calculating it like the least squares method."

"We reviewed multiplication and division of fractions. We also integrated 6 and 7 times tables into the fast facts the student has already been practicing."

"Student 1: Covered: Solving systems of equations using matrices. Reviewed for exam on matrices--performing operations on them, finding determinants, using them to solve systems of equations. (Began to explore zeros of second degree polynomial functions outside of classroom pursuit.) Student 2: Covered: Reviewed homework problem and continued to explore its theme of a proportionality constant. Reviewed rate of change. "

"We worked on simplifying radicals by multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting. The student went through these without much trouble. We finished the book work and worked on worksheets for her quiz tomorrow. We got through most of one, and she will finish the rest on her own."

"The student and I worked on his class novel Out of the Dust today. First, we did a lesson covering the context of the Great Depression. We discussed the historical relevance of this issue and how it would shape the plot of the novel. Next, we looked at the format of the book. The book is written in narrative poetry, so we covered how to properly read poetry, poem structure, and other elements. We finally looked at some of the things the student worked on in school. He received some sample essays, and we analyzed these to show their strengths. We also did brainstorming for the same prompts so he could create his own outline. I hope to bring some prompts to begin writing with him for the next session and to provide him with some vocabulary words to practice each week."

"Tonight was a review for the upcoming test on Friday, so we went over all the different types of factoring including factoring by grouping, using the GCF, difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, and factoring with numbers in front of the x^2. The student did very well on the majority of the problems but needed help on the word problems. I showed her a trick to help her write the equations and she made a lot of progress."

"We progressed with more of the student's online school assignments. Topics included factoring equations with multiple variables, and graphing more advanced functions than previously discussed. We also went over a discussion of the various types of numbers that exist, such as irrational, rational, real, and so on."

"The student and I went over an algebra worksheet on the value e, log, ln, and the exponential growth model. She did really well with combining exponents, changing log form to exponential form (and vice versa), and solving the inverse of logs. She needed help with the exponential growth equations. I suggested she memorize these equations. We'll also work on that in our next session. "

"Today, the student focused on solving Absolute Value Equations. In the beginning she was confused with the meaning of absolute value. Once we determined that the absolute value is the distance a real number is from 0 and that when solving with absolute values we need to consider both positive and negative answers, she was golden. I only helped her on the first problem, and she did the rest. It was a 20-question worksheet. She completed the majority of it. Tomorrow, we will shift our attention to graphing absolute value equations. "
