Roots of Exponents Teacher Resources

What is the square root of 100? Sal explains what the square root of 100 is, but he needs a little help explaining why. Note: This concept can be challenging for some. If you are showing this video to your class, it does not stand alone....

Before defining the quotient property of square roots, the teacher in this video works through an example that shows how the property is possible. She then goes through a couple more examples of the property in action. Show this resource...

If your class has a grasp of square roots, but is having difficulty with the product property of square roots, this video might be for you! In the video, an instructor completes a short proof of the property, defines the property, and...

Eighth graders determine the square and cube roots of given numbers in this math instructional activity. They determine the missing number in a sequence. Additionally, they calculate the interior and exterior polygon angles.

Explore a few powers of complex numbers numerically and decide if there is a pattern and use parametric equations to represent a complex number graphically. Use De Moivre's theorem to represent the roots of the complex number...

Root for your pupils to learn about roots. Young mathematicians first review the meaning of squares and square roots. They then use this knowledge to simplify square roots of monomials with variables.

Investigate rational exponents in this math lesson. Scholars make conjectures about the relationship between rational exponents and radicals. They then use their Ti-Nspire to simplify rational exponents.

Color tiles are used to model perfect squares. Alone or in pairs, middle schoolers will find patterns. Afterward, the relationship between perfect squares and roots will be discussed as a whole class.

Discuss the definition for a simplified form for a square root. Middle schoolers analyze different forms of a square root, the Product Property of Square Roots, and complete a worksheet.

Introduce your class to cube roots! You can show them this video, in which an instructor demonstrates how to find the cube root of a perfect cube. While this video is clear and well-made, it is appropriate only for more advanced learners...

In this square roots worksheet, students find the square roots of numbers, find what numbers are squared, solve for lengths of sides of triangles, and more. Students complete 18 problems.

A one-stop resource for exponents, square and cube roots, scientific notation, and volume formulas guides learners through properties of exponents. As they learn to apply these properties to operations with scientific notation,...

Looking for a quick introduction or review for area formulas?  Terminology and formulas for the area of squares, rectangles and triangles is presented. Connections with exponents and the Pythagorean Theorem are demonstrated.

The rules still hold. By reviewing the meaning of exponents in arithmetic, the video takes a look at exponents in algebra. The resource develops the meaning of any number raised to the zero power. Taking the idea of exponents further,...

Introduce your class to cube roots! You can show them this video, in which an instructor demonstrates how to find the cube root of a perfect cube. While this video is clear and well-made, it is appropriate only for more advanced learners...

Reviewing the last problem from the previous video because he feels that he "rushed it," Sal again explains the concept of ratios as it applies to problem 6 on the practice SAT (page 472 in The Official SAT Study Guide). Additional...

In this higher roots worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 40 various types of problems. First, they simplify each root by taking the number inside times another number. Then, students write out the root using rational exponents.

In this square roots worksheet, students calculate the value of a number squared.  They determine the square root of a number.  Students find the area of objects.  This five-page worksheet contains 10 problems. ...
