Creative Math lessons with hands-on problem-solving focus

The student and tutor reviewed decimal operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication) and conversions between decimals and fractions. They practiced converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and performing addition/subtraction with fractions having different denominators by finding the LCM. The student will review these topics before the next scheduled session.

The tutor and student reviewed fractions, covering addition, subtraction, and conversion between mixed numbers and improper fractions. They practiced finding LCMs for fractions with different denominators and reducing fractions, with a plan to continue this topic in the next session.

The student and tutor reviewed the properties and classification of triangles, including angle and side sum theorems, and various triangle types (acute, obtuse, right, equilateral, isosceles, scalene). They also practiced solving for unknown angles and distances using map scales and discussed cross-sections of 3D shapes.

The student and tutor reviewed cross-sections of 3D shapes, including prisms, rectangular prisms, and cones. They practiced identifying the shapes formed by horizontal, vertical, and angled cuts, with the tutor providing visual explanations and analogies to aid comprehension. The next steps were not explicitly defined.

The student and tutor worked through problems related to identifying and counting vertices, edges, and faces of various 3D geometric shapes. They practiced applying Euler's formula as a verification method and explored real-life examples of cones and cylinders.

The Tutor and Student worked through several word problems involving scale factors, blueprints, and areas. They practiced converting measurements using scales, calculating areas of rooms, and determining costs. The session also covered the concept of scale factors and how they affect drawings and areas, and how to determine a scale from given measurements.
