"We covered high level topics for the student's 7th grade math class. We will continue to work together on areas and circumferences of circles, geometry rules, and slope-intercept form as the semester progresses. He will bring his homework assignments and math textbook to future sessions, so we can continue to devise a study strategy to help him succeed. "

"We reviewed a lot of concepts on the AP exam for his practice final tomorrow - specifically focusing on shapes, distributions, z scores, t scores, and various tests / when to use them. The student picked up the material pretty fast and I think has a much better understanding of how it works. "

"During this session we worked on practice test problems, and I found a test review for the state exam that did not contain multiple choice. The student would focus on the strategy of how to solve a problem instead of making a guess. The student had a good attitude. We used strategies for finding volume, area, perimeter, and making fractions equivalent. On the practice test he only missed a few problems out of the 30 questions we worked on. The student made progress with making equivalent fractions, we he struggled with earlier in the week. This session multiplying was problematic for the student, such as multiplying with three digit numbers. I would say that this student has improved since I began tutoring them, but attention span and ability without scaffolding and assistance can be an issue."

"This may have been our best session yet!! Not only did the student complete two pages of her workbook, but she wrote a song about mathematics! She practiced fractions and decimals today and converting between them and writing simplest fractions. While doing so, she scripted a song about fractions and decimals. Her enthusiasm warmed my heart! She was upbeat and positive (as always) and I think even enjoyed herself."

"The student and I began our lesson with a new set of warm-up questions, this time revisiting when to use your vs. you're, and when to use later vs. latter. She had no trouble with these exercises, even when the sentences had several your/you're options within the content. Afterwards, we reviewed a translation of a fairytale she had translated called The Frogs and the Stork. The translation was done very well, and it presented an opportunity to go over the difference, and when to use to vs. from. This lesson went very well, and we planned to go over irregular verbs next lesson, after a warm-up revisiting when to use to/from."

"The student focused on reading during his session today. He read a fiction story with very few errors, and did a good job of correcting himself when he made those errors. After the reading, we started working on a journal entry that he is going to make using the reading that supports using text based evidence and critical thinking skills. We will continue working on the entry and do additional reading tomorrow. After working on the journal for a little while, we reviewed some high frequency sight words that he has been working on learning. He has done a great job of learning the dozen words in this set, and can recite them with a much higher accuracy than when we started the words last week."

"We covered a general review for the student's final exam. We went over grouping signs, simple step equations, algebraic word problems, and slopes. He solved most of the problems, though he still needs to show his math work."

"Student A did very well today. She was focused the entire time, as I believe she wanted to get her homework done in the time she had with me. We made sure that she went through each step of her area problems very methodically so she would not make simple mistakes. She has a good understanding of area and perimeter and should do very well on her quiz this week if she remembers to write out each step and not multiply/ divide in her head. Student B's session also went well today. We reviewed his 12 times table, which he completed well within the time allotted and without mistakes. We also did some practice reading questions in his test prep book. He did very well with these."

"We played several math games in order to improve the student's mental math in addition and multiplication. We reviewed and practiced several different mental math strategies: doubling number, doubling number plus one, making tens, and compensation. We played another game involving multiples and factors. She seemed to enjoy the games and was able to actually utilize the mental math strategies during the games. We reviewed her algebra homework, which involved recognizing a pattern and then figuring out an algebraic expression to describe the pattern. We reviewed more algebra concepts from last week. She remembered how to add like terms and was able to do several problems accurately on her own. She also was able to apply the distribution property after a quick review. She was also able to successfully utilize order of operations to solve simple single variable expressions when given the value of the variable."

"Today we covered precalculus concepts. We talked through the things the student missed in her absence last week: arithmetic vs geometric sequences, sigma notation, recursive vs explicit sequences, and partial sums. She wasn't completely comfortable with sigma notation at the start, but she understands it now. She quickly understood everything that she had missed. She is all caught up and on a good track in precalculus."

"The student and I chose to focus this study session specifically on word problems for his midterm exam on Friday. We practiced translating the problems into two variable formulas then solving the problems through substitution, graphically, or elimination. We also spent some time practicing how to graph inequalities as well and incorporated these into the word problem format. Lastly, we worked with manipulating the distance = rate x time formula. When I left, I asked him to concentrate his efforts on practicing more elimination and graphing problems because he had already mastered the substitution technique. Also, he made a lot of progress on the word problems, as his online software showed that he had begun getting the majority of these questions correct as he practiced. I could tell that by the end of this session, he had gained much more confidence in his abilities and would be more comfortable taking his exam. "

"The student and I finished his final paper presentation tonight. We consolidated the information from his paper introduction, method, results, and discussion sections into bullet points. We then took the bullet points and tables and organized them into slides for the presentation. Last, we practiced a quick run through of the presentation for tomorrow. We will continue to work on finalizing the paper together tomorrow. "
