Creative Math lessons with hands-on problem-solving focus

The Tutor and Student worked extensively on solving quadratic equations using the middle term splitting method. They practiced factoring, finding roots, determining intervals for negative function values, and deriving quadratic equations from given intercepts and points, with a plan for the student to practice more problems independently.

The Student and Tutor worked through various algebra problems, covering simplification of expressions, combining like terms, the distributive property, solving equations, and setting up algebraic equations from word problems. The session included practice with percentage calculations and equation manipulation.

The Tutor and Student practiced solving mathematical expressions using the BEDMAS order of operations and reviewed the properties of integers. The student was encouraged to practice these concepts and avoid using a calculator for calculations.

The Tutor and Student worked on understanding and applying the order of operations (PEMDAS/PEDMAS/BODMAS). They reviewed concepts like variables, coefficients, constants, and translating word phrases into mathematical expressions, followed by solving multi-step arithmetic problems. The next session will involve reviewing a worksheet with practice problems.

The Tutor and Student worked through word problems that involved setting up and solving systems of linear equations. The Student practiced using the elimination method and techniques like finding the LCM and taking out common factors to simplify equations. They plan to continue practicing similar problems.

The Tutor and Student worked on problems involving prisms and pyramids, focusing on identifying the shapes and calculating their volumes. They practiced using the formulas V=Bh for prisms and V=(1/3)Bh for pyramids, with attention to calculating base area and correct units. The session concluded with a review of the problems solved and a plan for the student to revise the material.
