We reviewed limits, sequences and sinusoids. The student had a basic understanding of how limits worked but struggled when applying limits to sequence. I showed him how establishing limits and convergence and be achieved through the ratio test and proceeded to show how it is used. We both tried it on a couple of examples until he felt comfortable with it. We then went over some corrections when it came to writing sequences in sigma form. I showed him some tips on writing odd and even functions, then we quickly reviewed how trig graphs are affected by transformations (i.e. sinusoids). He takes his final on Friday.

We covered proportional relationships (graphs, tables, formula). The student was very interested in the material and participated a great deal. She was able to grasp the theory fairly easily and will become very successful solving problems with a little more practice. I gave her a few pointers, which include: using tables, writing a formula for the problem and always remembering that proportional relationships start from (0,0).

The student is very anxious about Spanish, so we went over the numbers from 1-30, made flashcards, and practiced them. Then we worked on the days of the week. Finally, we filled in her new vocabulary worksheet and then went back to the flashcards. She did much better, and I assured her that if she practiced, she would be able to learn Spanish.
