Recent Northlake Tutoring Session Notes
We did a review of this semester's concepts. We spent most of our time on graphing rational polynomials and simplifying rational polynomials. We discussed a new factoring strategy, and a factoring recipe (looking for common factors first, then trying trinomial factoring, or if it's a 4-part polynomial, factoring by grouping, or looking for sum of squares, etc.), and also how moving everything to one side could help solve a polynomial expression. I assigned her extra practice problems from her book.

The student's final is coming up, and she wanted to be sure she was ready, so we focused on some of the things that she is still a little unsure of. We started with geometry. We went over the Pythagorean Theorem, and SOHCAHTOA. She practiced finding the missing angles and legs, then we moved on to some word problems. She is fairly confident, and I'm sure she will have no problem on the test. We will meet one more time next week to do a final review.

This session revolved around the material that was taught between the last tutoring session and today. Last time, the student and I worked ahead of the class. Today, that material was finally covered by the teacher and worksheets were assigned. We were able to discuss all but one problem for the worksheets. This problem will be finished next time we meet.
