Simplifying+nth+Roots

Dear Sub,

1. Thank you. 2. Please take attendance. (Seating Charts are on my desk.) 3. Have kids watch the Jing video below on Simplifying Radicals. 4. Distribute the worksheets on simplifying radicals. Pass around the stapler and have kids staple them. 5. once everyone has the worksheets show them the Jingvideo with the examples of number 1 & 3 6. Whatever is left is for homework. I will collect it on Monday. I will pick 4 random problems and grade it for accuracy. 7. For period 7 in D112, I only have two kids. I believe they have some work from their regular math class on which htey can work.

Thank you, Mr. Vizza

 * Jing Video On Simplifying Radicals**


 * Steps for Simplifying Radicals (0:00-1:50)**

1. Write a prime factorization of the coefficient. Factor out -1 where appropriate. (1:50-3:00) 2. Wherever possible, rewrite all powers as a multiple of the degree of the root you are working with in the problem. (3:00-4:10) 3. Take the appropriate root by dividing exponents by the degree of the root you are taking.(4:10-end) 4. Simplify everywhere possible.
