I like how you call on learners to share, which ensures that they all have an equal opportunity to share. It can feel mean at times, but it is part of helping them improve. I also liked when one learner was too busy to respond, you didn't wait too long before calling on a different learner instead. That quick thinking keeps the session running at a good pace.
I love how you ask learners what the first step in a problem is rather than putting pressure on them to solve it entirely. Also, when a learner may get a step wrong, you call on another learner to add on. This means that you aren't taking over when a learner is incorrect, instead giving others another opportunity to build off each other collaboratively. I also really love how, after you reveal more about the steps in solving a problem, you went back to the person who wasn't sure about the first steps to take a crack at the problem again to see how their thought process had developed after learning crucial pieces of information. That not only gives them an opportunity to demonstrate their learning but also reinforces the idea that making mistakes is OK! Fantastic!
I also liked when you fostered learner interaction in the Practice Test Review portion of the session by asking learners if they were familiar with Precalc concepts or if they had any specific questions they would like to over. You could possibly include more opportunities for interaction when doing review, similar to how you conduct the Targeted Practice, especially since you had extra time at the end.
