We went through some basic topics dealing with forces, and Newton's first and second law of motion. We talked about inertia, and friction, and I introduced her to the idea of a free body diagram.

Lesson Comments
She came in 45 minutes late, and did not have her books with her. She had some notes online that we went through.
She came in with a review for a test she has today. Some of the information we covered in the past, so we focused on the more recent information. We did a problem finding the weighted mean, and the mean of a frequency distribution table and how to determine the difference between the two. We spoke briefly about skewness, and the shape of some distributions.
We went through her notes and sample problems dealing with calculation of velocity (initial and final), acceleration (of an object in free fall as well), distance, average velocity, and time. We were able to complete the majority of the problems and concepts, but there is one concept involving speed (which is a simpler topic) that she needs to look over and possibly ask her teacher about since she has her test tomorrow.
She came in with no knowledge of the topics and concepts for her test today. She had a couple of problems to do for her homework (due today). We went through the topics while doing the homework on the following: frequency tables (interpretation, lower class limits, upper class limits, class width, number of classes, class midpoints, class boundaries), relative and cumulative frequencies, histograms, relative frequency histograms, frequency polygons, and ogive graphs. She was able to go through each topic with practice problems independently when she left.
