"Played math bingo with the student. Student learned long division and double digit multiplication. Student had trouble at first, however after a few problems, student remembered how to solve the problem."

"We covered LSDR and how to calculate regression equations using residuals. We went over alternative models and transformations on exponential and root models in order to linearize. The student has a much better idea of how to approach these calculations now."

"Tonight's session was covering a study guide for his test on Friday. It was specifically Fraction Decomposition with a focus on Heaviside method, Determinants, and Solving Matrices using Inverse Multiplication. After we completed the study guide I put either a circle, star, or line next to each problem. Any circled problems he must do on his own with a calculator, stared problems mean we went through them and he needs to fully review before the test, and problems with lines by them just need to reread before the test. I am excited for him to take his test Friday because I have a feeling he's going to do very well. "

"In our first session today we started working on topics from chapter 12 in the student's geometry textbook. This included finding surface areas of objects. The main focus was to find a set process for solving and applying it to all different types of problems. I gave the student practice problems to reinforce what we discussed today. I will look at these in our next session where we can address any areas that need further review."

"We prepped for the test on Friday, looking at the test review packet from the teacher, and working on additional problems in the same vein. A good bit of the work was just getting terms down, since the student is quick to pick up on concepts once she gets what's going on in the problem. One thing that we're going to have to keep working on is emphasizing the distinction between what we can and can't get away with using diagrams for, and making sure that we're not pulling information out of them without having a justification for it."

"In this first session, we reviewed a few different topics from the student's algebra 2 class. We covered the binomial theorem, binomial expansion, combinatorics, factorials, factoring, quadratic equations, and completing the square. We concluded with a few practice problems, and he worked right through them. He was very well prepared with many questions, which is always great to see!"

"We began an outline for the chapter in the student's history textbook that he is currently covering- the American Revolutionary War. We covered mostly the early part of the war today, with the intent that we would continue in our next appointment. He is an incredibly competent self directed learner and was really able to take control of his own learning in this session."

"Today, I met this student for the first time. She was engaged, she was polite, and she was interesting. I'm happy to be working with her. She is currently struggling with writing out her thought processes in order to be precise with her answer. She knows the logical steps, but she doesn't review her work, so she often misses the answer by a little bit. We will continue to work on that. Still, she has a good understanding of mathematical concepts, though she needs a bit of drilling when it comes to addition and multiplication. I did assign extra practice from a worksheet provided by her teacher. She likes math. She says she would like it more if she could hone in her skills, and we made that a goal for ourselves. If she continues, I have no doubt she will pass her state assessment exam with flying colors."

"We worked on lots of practice with finding relative extrema: both locations (x) and values (y). We worked with both first derivative and second derivative tests. Remember: for both tests, for the sake of expediency, do not try to fully calculate the values on either side of the 'location' value, simply check to see whether it is positive or negative. Also remember, if the question asks about extrema in general, and not just relative extrema, check the endpoints of the interval. If you think you may need the second derivative, take all derivatives at the beginning of the problem to have the information to use later. The problem may ask for relative extrema of the first derivative, so it is good to have the second derivative ready. Remember to write out the justification for your relative extrema finds. Great work today!"

"Today, the student and I began working on his journal for school this week. The topic was what he did over Spring Break. He had trouble remembering some of the activities he did, so we worked on some different memory strategy exercises. He did an excellent job writing today and did not need me to take turns writing. He did still need to set a specific timeframe for when he would be done and was overwhelmed by the amount of writing we did (a little over one journal page). We also spent some time memorizing his lines for his school play. He works well when he is given clear instructions-especially regarding time limits."

"The student is more prepared from the exam and her concepts were clearer than yesterday. The pace was faster too. We covered viruses, some ecology, protists, and fungi. We finished most of her topics. With a doubt-clearing session, she should do well. I gave her concise review material for all topics and some prepared questions to practice."
