Bountiful Tutoring: Tutors in Bountiful, UT

The student is preparing for a test on factoring quadratic expressions and solving quadratic equations with factoring. We reviewed the rules and the keys for factoring. We went over the review and then did a variety of factoring and solving problems.

The student had some work to finish off transversals and parallel lines, and then we went on and worked on different questions relating to the Pythagorean theorem. There were many types of questions - is this a triangle, what is the missing side, word problems, etc.

The student didn't have any homework in math or science for us to review this evening. Instead, I looked up 6th grade math review worksheets online, and we reviewed concepts that have been presented this year. We worked on percents, ratios, and multiplication of decimals. She had trouble remembering the process of multiplying numbers with decimals by hand (without using her calculator), and had difficulty figuring out where to place the decimal. After working through several problems, she began to pick up the process and get through the problems more quickly. She still has a lot of difficulty remembering her multiplication tables. She's admitted that she doesn't know any of the multiples of three without using her fingers. It might be a good idea for her to spend some time reviewing multiplication, using tables or flashcards. I told her that it would be good for her to bring her math book home for our next lesson, even if she doesn't have any homework assigned. This will allow us to look at some of the other the concepts she's found difficult over the past semester.

I went over problems involving properties of the definite integral, and the fundamental theorem of Calculus with the student. We worked integration problems and average problems. Overall, she has a very good understanding of how to do these problems.

We specifically went over the concept of limits and its uses in the real world and mathematics in general. He was able to understand the concepts really well, but needs more help on showing the flow of his steps clearly. I left him some more reminders on the importance of writing clearly. Overall, the session was excellent.

The student and I reviewed the procedures for solving equations involving a single trigonometric function, trig equations that are quadratic in form, and trig equations using fundamental identities. We solved teacher-provided questions during the first part of the session with me guiding her through the process. During the second half of the session, she solved various examples independently. She understands these concepts and will master them with additional practice.
