"We finished going over the student's world history notes and preparing her for her test this week. She is very confident that she knows the information for her test. We started to review her algebra lesson from this week, and I realized that this is the area we need to focus on at this point. We will begin to go over these concepts from the beginning starting at our next session. "

"During our session we covered writing inequalities and graphing them, writing equations and graphing them, solving systems of equations and inequalities (algebraically and graphically), and factoring. With factoring and finding solutions we reviewed concepts like greatest common factor and the quadratic formula. The student remembered how to solve most of the problems and had a positive attitude throughout the entire session. Many problems today were in-depth and had a lot of steps, but she still showed her work neatly and thoroughly. Great session! "

"Today we worked on grammar (suffix, prefix, roots), then we moved on to multiplication and division. The student has a few concepts to grasp in multiplying (carrying). In division, he just needs to understand that it is the inverse of multiplication."

"Topics covered: 1 and 2-step algebraic equations and inequalities. The student is becoming more and more enthusiastic about learning math. There are some problem solving skills that need improvement, but she is making steady progress."

"We started going over the remainder and factor theorems for polynomials as well as the rational roots theorem. We practiced finding at least one rational root then using polynomial long division to factor out the linear terms unit we are left with a quadratic polynomial that we can use our other techniques to finish factoring the polynomial. We looked at how to create a polynomial of least degree from a set of given zeros. We looked at how using synthetic division to test a possible rational root can give us the coefficients of the reduced polynomial when we do have a root. Lastly, we talked through sketching the graph of a polynomial by finding any real roots and understanding the end behavior. The student is getting better using the rational roots theorem and synthetic division to find roots of a polynomial and he has a better understanding of what the roots of a function mean both graphically and as linear factors of the function.

"We covered genetics/probability: 1. DNA, 2. Genes, 3. Alleles, 4. Dominance, 5. Karyotype, 6. Chromatid, 7. Heredity, 8. Meiosis, 9. Germ-line cells, 10. Histones, 11. Telomeres, 12. Density of DNA, 13. Location of genes on DNA, 14. Calculating probability, 15. "And" rule, 16. "Or" rule, 17. Not counting overlapping probabilities twice, 18. Factorial, 19. Binomial equation, and 20. Tree diagrams. The student did very well!"

"The student continued working on his physical chemistry assignment, solving problems on de Broglie's equation, Bohr's law, and uncertainty and momentum. We also worked on a assignment on complex numbers, including using I as an exponent, the complex conjugate, and real and imaginary parts of a number."

"Today, we spent the entirety of the session on a math program, and we were able to speed through a number of lessons. The student seems to completely grasp the general concept of adding and subtracting using the standard algorithm, so this was not very challenging for her. Because I feel she is able to do this math on her own (with little to no mistakes as long as she double checks her work), I think we will go back to working on new/challenging math that pushes her to think critically. I am very impressed with her improved confidence and ability to self correct as compared to when we began working together back in December! "

"Covered chemical hybridization theory, sigma, pi bonds, balancing chemical equations. Wins: Solid understanding of problematic areas!"

"We spent the day talking about the second law of thermodynamics. We discussed the meaning of entropy and derived key relations dealing with the change in entropy of systems. The student was able to keep up in spite of the fact that a lot of information was being presented to her. "

"I helped the student review for his Pre-Algebra Ch.10 exam and complete his study guide. This included reviewing properties and area of trapezoids, circles, quadrilaterals, and triangles. He agreed to make flashcards about the formulas to help him review for Thursday's test. He also needed help with a character chart about a novel he is reading in class. I helped him work through the plot and meaning of his reading, and he really seemed to make some text connections."
