"Today the student learned about ratios and interpreting scales. We reviewed setting up and solving equations involving fractions. "

"The student knocked out all of her homework for the week and her online quiz, all of which is due on Sunday. The lessons covered lines and their equations. We went over slope-intercept form, point-slope form, and standard form, as well as finding x and y intercepts and calculating slope. She is doing well with the material but needs more practice to build her confidence. "

"We covered most of section 12-3, and explained the how to find: the mean, median, mode, and range of a data set, also how to find the value of missing data when you know the average of the data set. "

"Today, the student and I started reviewing material for the beginning of his physiology 2 course. The topic for this chapter included blood cells. We went over red blood cells, plasma, and white blood cells. He was doing well with the information; the only trouble he was having was with the big and complicated words. During the session, I made sure to go back to topics and quiz him on the terms. During next session we will review some of the material and move on to discussing more about white blood cells. "

"We reviewed step functions and greatest integer functions with a sample problem for each. Both students seemed more confident in their understanding of these functions after our review. Then, we worked through some problems on linear programming, and both understood how to complete the problems. Then, we worked on a problem involving folding a rectangular paper to create a triangle shape and finding what fold length would maximize the triangle area. In review, both are bright students with excellent understanding of math. Reviewing a sample problem or sharing a tip that maybe hadn't been presented in class seems to facilitate their understanding and boost their confidence. I look forward to working with them next week."

"We reviewed normal distributions and density curves. I had already prepared her during the summer for such topics, so she had very little trouble with the formulas, charts, and calculations. The real lesson was on how to interpret and correctly write results of said calculations. We spent the majority of the session going over how to interpret z-score, p-value, and specific statistics. We went over several examples to make sure she could interpret her answers properly. We also went over concepts dealing with the location of the mean with respect to the median on a density curve. I assigned her a study packet to practice with. She takes a test on Thursday."

"The student finished up his Algebra project today, which looked more at linear equations, as well as linear inequalities. The first part of the project was mostly just looking at how lines with different slopes and intercepts interact with one another. The second half of the project was looking at the ways in which lines and inequalities are able to intersect with each other. He seemed to understand all of the material just fine."

"This session we practiced multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. The student understands the concept. He is still learning his multiplication facts. He should be practicing the higher numbers (6-12). Factorization was also introduced this session. "

"The student has another quiz this week and has moved on to multiplying fractions. She knows the subject material, so we are working on different study/learning skills. Double checking her work is really important, because it's always "little" mistakes that trip her up. We worked on writing out every single step of our work - it helps her make fewer mistakes, and if she does make one, she's more likely to get at least partial credit from her teacher."

"With the student doing circles in class, we covered the information and instruction packet that he is given in class. It is a form of practice but is not to be handed in. However, we did all the problems and stopped frequently for explanations and clarifications. Then, we proceeded to do the homework problems that were due in class. The student seem to enjoy geometry problems in circles more than triangles. He was able to do most problems without a sweat and we had spare time to do some biology questions on genetics. Genetic problems seem to be easy for him as well. This sort of easiness of problem is a good sign that he is enjoying his work and does not foresee major difficulties in understanding approaches and applying methods. "

"We covered the concepts of the sequence of events and "show not tell" a characters feelings. The student was able to write more succinctly today. She practiced adding more details to her stories and following a sequence of events. The student sometimes struggles with sentence structure. We will be starting a new concept in writing next week. She is doing very well. "
