Lesson Plan

Simply Radical!:

Students will rewrite radical expressions that can be simplified to one term and perform operations on radical expressions. They will solve problems in a Row-by-Row activity. Pairs of students work on different problems at different complexity levels that lead to the same solution. The students will challenge each other to prove their solutions are correct. This activity does not address rational exponents.
