Went over ways of finding the gradient and y-intercept from a table of data points, which Jack did well in, even changed the method to suit his way of problem solving, then balanced chemical equations and strategies for balancing equations and again once he had the steps sorted, he went well and finished with similarity, congruence and the tests for these. In all we covered a lot and Jack was doing well in all these areas
He is doing well at this stage, so next week, we will start revision for his final test for the year
Got through a geometry max/min problem and reviewed exam strategy and some probability. Did okay but still hampered by the flu

As above. He is still badly affected by the flu
Went over differentiation, integration and started some maximum/minimum problems. Gwilyn did okay, but was hampered by a bout of the flu.

I hope he can better in two days time, otherwise I hope his family can have a medical certificate back-up plan

Went over double derivatives and use them to test for nature of stationary points and inflection points. Also displacement/velocity/acceleration relationship, as well as examining / sketching a function over a restricted domain. Gwilyn was working at good speed and using the right rules. He still stalled a little with all the ways restricted domain entailed. So a productive lesson
He is still improving, which is great, but no past papers yet and only 2 weeks left
