Today JPaul and I built on the concepts we started yesterday. Using a given trig ratio and the sign of another, we first had to determine what quadrant our reference angle was in. Then we drew a triangle with the x axis and labeled the sides appropriately. To find the third side we used the pythagorean theorem. Then we used SOHCAHTOA to find all the remaining trig functions. This was a bit difficult at first. JPaul had to recall sine is y, cosine is x and tangent is y/x. He also had to rationalize the answers when they were not in simplest form. I guided him through the problems at first, but toward the end of the class he was able to do them correctly on his own.

JPaul was able to access his Unit 8 Daily videos but the Topic Questions will not be accessible until Ms. Megan has AP Coordinator access. Instead, we worked on practice tests. I found online the 2023 and 2023 Free Response Questions and printed out the scoring guidelines for each question. I also found a multiple choice test with answers so JPaul can check them. This will be great review content for JPaul.

JP completed the Reading portion of the standardized test during today's session.

JPaul continued the Quiz 5 review packet and we went over important formulas including calculating quotes.

Review Ch. 16 and watch videos from the eBook on International Finance.

Today JPaul and I worked on signs of trig functions depending on which quadrant the terminal side lands in. First we recalled that sine goes with y, cosine goes with x, and tangent is y/x. JPaul asked why this is true, so we went back to previous notes, and I reviewed with him the proof involving the Pythagorean Theorem. Next, we practiced problems where the sign of a trig function was given and then it asked which possible quadrants the terminal side could land in. JPaul had to consider if the x or y values were positive/negative in those quadrants. JPaul understood the content, but was a little slower than usual with his responses. I asked him what time he went to bed last night and he said 10:04. (LOL on the specificity). Perhaps this was more challenging for him, so we will review again tomorrow to ensure he truly gets it before building on it.

Finish problems related to chapter 16.

JP took the Reading portion of a standardized test during today's session.

We worked on solving quadratic equations and radicals. Then JPaul watched a video on weather and answered questions.

Today we worked on vocabulary and pronunciation. He completed the B and C oral activity 5, from StudySpanish.com where he learned about colloquial words in Spain.
