Prangna taught about 2 months ago
The tutor and student reviewed basic trigonometric function reciprocals and their relationships. They then progressed to understanding and plotting the graphs of sine, cosine, secant, and cosecant functions, including how to modify them for changes in period. The next session is planned to cover phase shifts and other advanced graphing concepts.
Reciprocal Trigonometric Functions
Graphing Sine and Cosine Functions
Graphing Secant and Cosecant Functions
Periodicity and Transformations of Trigonometric Functions

The Tutor and Student reviewed geometric concepts like similar triangles, rectangles (perimeter and area), and triangles (area). They also practiced algebraic manipulation, focusing on distribution, handling negative signs, and combining like terms. The session aimed to reinforce these mathematical skills.
Perimeter and Area of Rectangles
Area of a Triangle
Area of a Parallelogram
Distributive Property with Signs
Combining Like Terms with Multiple Variables

The Tutor and Student reviewed trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) and their application in finding missing sides of right triangles. They also practiced using the side ratios for special right triangles (45-45-90 and 30-60-90) and applied these concepts to word problems involving ladders. The student gained confidence in identifying sides and applying formulas, preparing for an upcoming quiz.
