Thea - Know your tutor
I am Thea Maestrecampo, with over 5 years of experience teaching Mathematics. My expertise covers from elementary to middle school math such as basic math, pre - algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, statistics, pre - calculus, and even basic calculus. I always prioritize my students' personalized learning experience such gamification and math tricks. Of course, I also consider the parent's request such as improvement of grades, homework help, mastering math concepts, and preparation for exams - even advancing them. I always include assessing the student first, giving them practice drills with math tricks along the way, and making sure they appreciate the lesson and enjoying the class as well. I also worked with students who had different learning needs that includes difficulty in learning attention, comprehension, and processing information. With these experiences, I learned how to break down the tasks into smaller and manageable parts, used simple instructions, and incorporated interactive tools online to help them understand the Math concept even better. Overall, all of these experiences strengthened my ability to be emphatic, creative, and student - centered. Now, I value inclusivity and student - centered learning.

The Student and Tutor practiced identifying different types of triangle congruency (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, RHS) through various exercises, including a multi-step proof involving corresponding parts of congruent triangles (CPCTC). The session concluded with a review of finding the perimeter of a triangle with algebraic side lengths. The Student was reminded to complete their outstanding homework.

CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent)
Common Side (Reflexive Property)
RHS Congruency (Right-Hypotenuse-Side)
Triangle Congruency Postulates (SSS
SAS
ASA
The Tutor and Student reviewed previous homework involving classifying triangles and solving for missing angles. The session then introduced the concept of triangle congruency, defining its meaning and exploring four main types: SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS. They practiced identifying these congruency types from diagrams, learning to recognize hidden congruent parts like common sides and vertical angles, with homework assigned for further practice.

The Student and Tutor reviewed homework on angle relationships, including corresponding and supplementary angles, and then introduced the concept of congruent polygons. They practiced identifying corresponding angles and sides, solving algebraic problems to find unknown values within congruent figures. Homework was assigned to classify triangles by their angles after calculating unknown variable expressions, applying the triangle angle sum property.
Reviewing Angle Relationships & Calculations
Understanding Congruent Geometric Shapes
Identifying Corresponding Angles and Sides
Sum of Interior Angles in a Triangle (180° Rule)
Solving for Unknowns in Congruent Polygons Algebraically
Classifying Triangles by Angle Measures
The tutor and student worked through geometry problems involving angles, focusing on setting up and solving algebraic equations for unknown variables. They reviewed concepts of supplementary, complementary, and vertical angles, and the student practiced applying these definitions to find angle values. The homework assignment involves further practice with these concepts and identifying other angle relationships like alternate interior and corresponding angles.
Supplementary Angles
Complementary Angles
Vertical Angles
Applying Algebra to Geometry
The Tutor and Student reviewed core geometry concepts, including parallel and perpendicular lines, and the four types of angles formed by a transversal. They practiced identifying these angle relationships and calculating unknown angle measures, including examples with algebraic expressions and angles within polygons. The Student was assigned homework to reinforce these concepts, which will be checked in the next session.
Defining Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Transversals and Angle Identification
Properties of Angles with Parallel Lines
Algebraic Applications in Angle Measurement
The student and tutor reviewed the multiplication of radicals, drawing parallels to algebraic operations with variables. They practiced multiplying radicals with like and unlike radicands, and also covered the initial concepts of dividing radicals and rationalizing the denominator. The plan is to continue practicing these operations in the next session.
Distribution with Radicals
Dividing Radicals and Rationalizing the Denominator
Multiplying Radicals: Different Radicands
Multiplying Radicals: Same Radicand
