Huntington Beach College Algebra Tutoring FAQ

Recent Huntington Beach College Algebra Tutoring Session Notes
The student has a good understanding of the basics behind college algebra but just needs more practice to understand where to start on a lot of the problems. We went over several kinds of factoring problems. Once she realized the trick to it, she did very well! We also did several factoring/simplifying problems with add/sub and mult/div which went pretty well. We ended on basics of complex fractions, which are a little more difficult. She is good at finding the LCD for the problems. We just need to work on the way to solve complex fractions since it's a formula in a sense.
Today the student and I went over problems from a practice test he had printed out for the math placement test. He was able to solve many of the problems easily, but some were more challenging. For those, we went over strategies including polynomial long division, rules of logarithms, trigonometric identities, difference of cubes, and more. We made an appointment for tomorrow, when we will work through another one of the practice tests he printed out.
Discussed study methods for upcoming tests: reviewing past homework and tests, making a list of past exercises and categorizing topics to better understand which methods to use to solve problems. We discussed systems of equations (linear and non-linear) and matrices.
We reviewed topics covered in yesterday's tutoring session (distance between two points, midpoint). We also continued where we left off with circle equations from yesterday. We looked at a test the student took this past spring semester for the same class (different professor) and he reworked some of the problems that he had missed. He was able to solve the questions or get closer to the answer than he previously did when he took the test.
The student and I covered upcoming material. I left her my notes on end behavior of polynomials, and she seemed to like my organization style. She has everything she needs to understand her professor in the upcoming lectures.
