Description
Digitally practice Algebra by simplifying radicals that are square roots with perfect square and prime factor methods. This math activity is engaging, color-changing, self-checking work! You can allow students to practice both methods, or the method of your choice. The Google Sheets step-by-step problems allow students to independently practice and at the same time confidently practice. The activity is guided and self-grading, while providing immediate feedback. For the perfect square method, students are guided through how to simplify if they do not select the greatest perfect square.

- Question 1: Cannot be simplified
- Questions 2: Kick out one pair and keep value left under radical/only 1 perfect square goes into the number
- Question 3: Kick out two pairs , multiply them, and keep value left under radical/how to solve if you don't select the greatest perfect square
- Question 4: Kick out 2 pairs, multiply them, and multiply the values left under radical/how to solve if you don't select the greatest perfect square
- 4 additional worked out problems to be used as Bell-ringers, Exit Slips, or Quiz

What did they have to say?
I tested it out on my Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 students, and they LOVED it!
- “I like doing it this way because, it helps me to see how to set the different parts of the problem up.”
- “It helps me to see when I made a mistake, right when it happens, instead of finding out at the very end.”
- “When it turned red, it made me stop and think more about how to fix it.”
- “I understand my mistakes more once I figure out how to fix them.”
- “It made me want to keep trying until I see all green.”
- “I felt smarter once I finally figured it out”
- “I wish we did this more, it helps.”
How is it self checking?
Well, students answer one question at a time, and as they do, the box changes color. IF the box turns red, then students know to re-think and adjust their answer.
