Each session Paige and I worked on many math topics; plotting coordinate points, multiplying fractions, finding unit prices, creating algebraic expressions, simplifying absolute value expressions, finding area and perimeter of figures, performing long division with whole numbers and decimal numbers, performing multiplication with whole numbers and decimal numbers, finding measures of central tendency (her favorite), solving inequalities, graphing inequalities, working with signed numbers (needs more practice) and dividing fractions.

Paige and I had a virtual session via Zoom. Paige and I continued taking turns reading Section Five of "The Classic Best Seller Mythology, Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes" by Edith Hamilton. Paige continued identifiing vocabulary that she did not know and we looked up the definitions. Paige highlighted new characters and annotated events that occurred. Paige will complete her reading and make annotations.

Paige read and annotated a chapter of her book. We discussed the characters and themes of the the novel as well as what she thought might happen next. We also talked about the benefit of reading aloud first and then using the audiobook after she tires of reading to herself.

Paige and I worked on her summer math homework. We covered over 15 topics. Paige is great at multiplication & division, distributing algebraic expressions, solving for missing angles, reflecting shapes over the x and y axis, and classifying triangles. Paige needed extra help adding and subtracting signed numbers and plotting coordinate points. Paige needs to earn 80% to complete her summer math work. At the beginning of our session, she was at 60%. By the end of the session, she was at 65%. Paige and I completed many mini-lessons on over 15 topics, but the percentage goes up very slowly. I recommend two 1.5 hour sessions or three 1 hour sessions together to complete her summer work.

Paige’s summer assignment is an intensive review of all PreAlgebraic concepts. Today, we worked on Statistics, Probability, and Geometry.
She did very well. When beginning a problem, she seemed to lack confidence. She doubted that what she was thinking was correct, but the majority of time she was right!! With our short time together, I will try to help her break down those walls, have her realize she’s much more capable than she thinks.

Paige did not have any math homework. Paige worked on history vocabulary - writing the words on flashcards. Paige continued working on her history packet.

Paige made flash cards for social studies. She put the word on one side and the definition on the other.

Paige completed her homework on frequency reporting - reading and creating frequency tables, line plots, and histograms and answering questions referring to the graphs. Paige then completed history homework - writing notes from her textbook, "History Alive!". Lastly, Paige worked on annotating her chapter book, "Johnny Tremain".
