Time: 45 min.
Goal: Finish Jasmine’s homework without any trouble, or to cover a topic she does not understand and make her understand it completely.
Reflection: My goal for this tutoring session was to complete Jasmine’s homework with no trouble, or, if there was anything to work on, have her understand it completely. Today Jasmine’s homework was on fractions again. It was on knowing which fractions were higher, lower, or equivalent to a half. This is a challenging topic to cover since Jasmine’s grade has not been introduced to multiplication. I was hoping that she would have learned how to solve these problems in class so that her homework would have gone smoothly. However, I had a solution. I showed her the pizza again. I shaded in half of the pizza, and I asked what fraction that was. I told her that is there was a shaded area on a pizza any smaller than that, that it was smaller than a half. But if the shaded area was bigger than that, than it was more than half. Once she understood this concept, her homework finally went smoothly!
