In today's class, we went over some problems that deal with specific heat capacities of different solutions. We also used some formulas (such as C1V1=C2V2) to solve dilution problems. We went over some heating and cooling curves as well.

Lesson Comments
I was asked to tutor Jeron over this past weekend. He is a wonderful kid and it was nice helping him out.
Jeron had a lesson and questions on measures of central tendency. We looked at box and whisker plots, which show the median and upper and lower quartiles of a set of data. The median splits the data into an upper and lower range. The lower quartile is the median of the lower range, and the upper quartile is the median of the upper range. if a Box and Whisker Plot is symmetrical, then the standard deviation is the best measure of the spread of data. If it is asymmetrical, then the Interquartile Range (IQR) is the best measure. I took notes from the lesson for Jeron, and encouraged him to do the same as he goes through the lessons.
Jeron had been working through an online practice test for his Algebra 1 Midterm. His mom had several topics that she wanted me to cover with him, as well as finish the test. We went through the last portion of the online test and answered a variety of questions about graphing, exponential functions, and square roots. I helped Jeron make corrections where I saw any mistakes in his answer. We also reviewed multiplying and dividing fractions, solving systems of equations, and fractional powers.
