In August, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) students continued their Education Help Program. As school ends and summer break starts, some middle school students are looking for tutoring classes to improve their academic skills in classes like math, science, or reading. Because of this, GPA is holding tutoring opportunities in core subjects.
This week, GPA member Karen Yang (8/1, 2 hrs) and Kevin Song (8/1, 2 hrs) began with a question of the day. Then, we continued our discussion and practice about quadratics with a warm up question. Students needed some review about FOIL, so we covered that again. Next, we covered expanding equations and finding the variables that would fit in the quadratic equation. We did a few of these practice problems. Afterwards, they practiced more factoring to grasp this concept: We’ll be having class next week!
GPA member Sophia Song (8/3, 2 hrs) helped her tutee with Algebra 2.
In this week’s tutoring session, GPA member Annie Miao (8/4, 2 hrs) went over statistics with her tutee. They went through the definitions of words like range, median, mode, and mean and how to find them given a set of numbers.
The program allows GPA members to provide reading, writing, speaking, communication, and more to their students across the country.
