We will begin by going over the assignment from yesterday. We will the define colinear points. This will lead to a discussion of the segment addition postulate and allow us to look at situations that determine a unique plane, these include three noncolinear points, two intersecting lines, and two parallel lines. The assignment will be to look up these new concepts on the 11-page document.

Lesson Comments
We discussed the homework and introduced new definitions and postulates related to lines and plane. It was another very good session with lots of discussion, and I determined that Kaitlyn is learning this material very nicely.
We will start with a homework quiz. The new material for today will focus on lines. We will start with segments, rays, and half-lines. We will define the term between as it relates to geometry and do some problems using the definition. We will look at examples of intersecting lines, skew lines, and parallel lines,

Lesson Comments
We are making great progress in our study of geometry. We have already established a pattern for our sessions that I think will work real nicely, Kaitlyn knows how to learn remotely. She asks great questions, lets me know if an explanation is not clear, and has a great attitude.
We will discuss the syllabus, class procedures and an overview of the course content. We will study the concept of undefined terms as related to geometry (point, line, and plane). We will discuss the statement types used in formal geometry: definition, postulate, and theorem.
Assignment
Know the undefined terms and the three statement types that we studied.

Lesson Comments
We had a good discussion of the procedures, methods, and material that will be followed in this course. We determined that we will not use a textbook. We will have homework on a regular basis, a weekly quiz, and a test at the end of each quarter. We discussed the undefined terms and statements that are the basis of formal geometry. We had a very good session.

Lesson Comments
During today's session with James, a lengthy assignment involving similarity and congruence of various triangles and quadrilaterals was completed. this assignment was high complexity and James followed very well my explanations of specific problem-solving techniques and "evidence" of similarity. Since James and I begin our new full-time school and work schedules next week, we will coordinate a new tutoring session schedule that works for both of us.
