Recent Bloomingdale Tutoring Session Notes
Today we reviewed the chapter for the student's upcoming test. We went over problems involving how to find vectors given magnitude and direction angles, resultant vectors and its magnitude/direction angles. There were also word problems involving these concepts and we clarified how they are similar, just different situations. We also reviewed formulas from the beginning of the chapters such as Law of Sine, Law of Cosine, and Area formulas for Oblique Triangles as well as the ambiguous case of one or two triangles for Law of Sine. A good strategy I told her for word problems was to draw it out and make triangles relative for the x-axis. She was very involved in this session and asking questions she knew she had issues with or needed review with.

In Thursday's lesson, the student reviewed properties of ellipses and hyperbolas, the math for which is closely related. She does very well to understand the material as she solves, and she picks up quickly the distinctions between various calculations within these conic sections. She's starting to enjoy the solving process as well, which is fantastic.

The student is a very independent and focused worker who also does a great job with not being afraid to ask questions or get help when needed. I would like to work with her to help her expand her vocab to help her better prepare for the challenging texts that she will read in the future.

We discussed overall goals, including target score and admissions timeline. We decided that the December test was a better target than October given the tight timeframe and the student's target score, so our study plan will be aimed at that. We discussed the diagnostic test that she took and figured out which sections gave her the most trouble and which seemed more doable, and then spent most of the rest of the session on an intro to logic games, working through several of the problems in the initial set. She quickly picked up the basic strategy for attacking logic games and was able to correctly answer all the questions she missed originally. We concluded by deciding on the materials she was going to use and a general study plan.

The students have Current Events presentations in the near future, so we spent some time looking over those. Student 1 has his presentation tomorrow, so he did a practice run to make sure he was in the right time frame. He also finished up his flash cards. Student 2 was just beginning to work on his project, so I helped him put together his argument and talked him through the basic development of the arc of his presentation. After we'd finished this, we spent our remaining time reviewing vocabulary for a Language Arts test they have tomorrow.

We covered similar triangles, flowchart reasoning, and conjectures (AA, SSS, SAS). The student did not struggle with the concepts, and she showed a positive attitude toward the material. I told her a trick on how to turn simple fractions into decimal form, by remembering multiples of the denominator, and recognizing squares of specific values.
