Sam was going to skype this lesson. I had a series of about 20 common cosmetic ingredients to discuss, their uses in and possible problems with their use. Including, but not limited to Agar,
Alcohols, Parabens, Aluminum chlorhydrate, cellulose, tocopherols, gums and emulsifiers
The plan was to introduce the topic of addition and subtraction of rational functions. The lesson would start with the rules of addition and subtraction of fractions with the requirement for all terms to have the same denominator. I would then extend that rule and the steps required to obtain same denominators to algebraic rational functions and the need to factor the numerators and denominators of all terms. Since Samantha was not present today and was not going to be available for Skyping until my session with her ended, I will have to present this lesson next time I see her. There was no assignment.

Samantha has now been out for a full week's worth of algebra II lessons. She very conveniently was unavailable for Skyping until 11 AM, which is the end of the time I would have worked with her.
I would be very shocked if she was able to pass algebra II at this point.

Samantha is absent today. She will probably have forgotten a lot by the time I see her again.

Samantha's absences makes it very difficult to make progress in math. Although she is very strong in algebra, her absences and her distracted attention makes it difficult to help her. This is compounded by an unsettled home life.
