In a nutshell: our Tutor Review State Guide has been streamlined and updated! Please begin following the steps described in this guide as soon as your next shift starts.
The new guide can be found at this link:

The new instructions give more impactful and actionable information about how to use this time. In short, the new steps are as follows: understand the problem, think about the concepts you and your student will discuss first, and (step 3 is currently optional) locate one or more visual resources that will help you explain them.
A couple more points to keep in mind regarding the review state and identifying gaps in understanding:

In a nutshell: There is some confusion and new information surrounding which probability and statistics concepts we cover and which ones we don’t. We’ve created a list to help you out!
We have mentioned before that the upper limit of the probability and statistics material that we cover is defined by the High School Statistics and Probability section of the Common Core State Standards for math.
However, the language in some of these standards is not very exact. For example, one particular standard claims that students have to be able to use the mean and standard deviation for a normally distributed data set to estimate population percentages. This implies (without explicitly stating) that they need to calculate and use z-scores.
To display our updated policy and clear up the confusion once and for all, here is a comprehensive outline of the concepts in probability and statistics that we expect Yup Math Tutors to be able to cover by the start of the upcoming school year (topics not originally included by the Tutor Policies document are in green text):
We still do not cover certain advanced probability distributions (e.g. Poisson or geometric), advanced hypothesis tests (e.g. ANOVA), Type I and II errors, or any other concepts that are not found in the Common Core. Since we realize that much of this material has not been mentioned in the past, here are a few resources (among many) that you can use to update/refresh your knowledge on any of the material mentioned above.
In addition, there will be a 3-week period, starting today, in which you will not be given an infraction for telling students you cannot solve a problem if it contains statistics concepts that we previously regarded as outside our coverage. Use it wisely!!
