Georgia was absent

Student left to go to fair

Lesson was a little slower today because we had to review the material we learned last week. Georgia seemed a little tired at the beginning of the session but improved as we continued. She has worked with sales tax before so was able to learn the mechanics quickly.

Student was absent. Ordered curriculum for consumer math

Georgia did a great job today. She enjoyed practicing her multiplication facts on the computer. We reviewed the concepts that I introduced on Tuesday and Georgia was able to recall all of the material. We then practiced some percent to decimal/fraction and decimal to percent conversions. In order to show Georgia how this concept applies to real life, we practiced setting up the correct proportion for solving percentage word problems.

Georgia worked well today. She knew her multiples of 3 but we will continue to work on speed. She has a good understanding of the meaning of percent and did a good job setting up the 3 different types of proportions to find solve percentage problems. We also worked on using mental math to solve problems involving finding a fraction of a number.

Georgia and I spent today getting to know each other and discussing her feelings about math in general. We discussed what we will try to accomplish with this course and how we will accomplish those goals. Georgia was very receptive and easy to talk to so I feel that we established a good working relationship.
