Today's lesson was all about algebra! My 13-year-old male student and I explored linear and literal equations. We also explored biased and unbiased data, univariate and bivariate data, and qualitative vs quantitative data. He had some trouble with literal equations, but he got it in the end. I think he finds learning difficult at times, but rewarding nonetheless.
http://regentsprep.org/ is a great resource for all students. We used the algebra section of the site today, but we've also been using the Living Environment section to prepare for the 8th grade state examination in science coming up in just a few short weeks.
It is my firm belief that this student will do well in all of his exams this year. He had made wonderful progress in all of his subject areas. I fully anticipate him to get a 3 out of 4 on the NYS grading system in all of his tests.
And don't worry - we got his permission to post on his behalf!
