Explore the process of simplifying square roots through an analysis of perfect squares. The fourth lesson of 25 expects individuals to find the perfect square factors in each radicand as a means of simplifying. The perfect square factor...

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.

Students simply roots and organize it. In this algebra lesson, students solve radicals by simplifying them. They solve for squares by taking the square root of both sides of the equation. They simplify and rationalize the denominator.

Develop a definition of irrational numbers through an exploration of square roots. The 11th lesson in this series of 25 asks scholars to estimate the value of a square root. Learners observe as the estimation extends further and further...

Make the irrational rational again! Continuing the theme from previous lessons in the series, the lesson relates the polynomial identity difference of squares to conjugates. Learners develop the idea of a conjugate through analysis and...

Conquer any irrational fears you might have of irrational numbers. As class members investigate how to represent numbers geometrically, they learn about rational and irrational numbers, including approximating and ordering rational...

Working with imaginary numbers — this is where it gets complex! After exploring the graph of complex numbers, learners simplify them using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. 

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Pupils solve exponential functions and inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students find the roots of equations and use it to graph and evaluate exponential functions. They simplify exponents using the law of exponents.

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of a right triangle. They find the missing side and angles of a right triangle.

Students multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Students convert quadratic functions from standard form to vertex form. In this algebra lesson, students solve polynomials using synthetic and long division. They derive and apply the remainder theorem and factor theorem.

Learners explore the needs of plants. For this science lesson, students plant seeds and place one in a sunny spot and the other in a dark area. Learners observe what happens.
