Description

These Square and Cube Roots notes and practice are differentiated based on some common needs found in the middle school math classroom. Modifications are considered for both struggling learners and high flyers. In these activities, students practice evaluating square and cube roots that result in whole numbers. (Only the principal root is discussed.) Then students practice estimating radicals to the nearest tenth. For practice, students order rational and irrational numbers from least to greatest, plot irrational numbers on a number line, and identify rational and irrational numbers.

Differentiated Notes Include:

Traditional Notes – These are basic skeletal notes. Students fill in the examples with you and do the “try” problems independently.

Modified Notes – These cut down on the amount of writing that students are required to do. All examples are filled in, but practice problems are left blank for student completion. (Excellent for IEP and 504 accommodations involving difficulties with hearing, handwriting, etc.)

Teacher Notes – These are completely filled in for teacher reference. These notes are also great for students who have been absent.

Differentiated Practice (Homework) Includes:

Advanced Practice – Perfect challenge for your high flyers! Many problems overlap with Basic Practice, but this worksheet skips some of the basic problems and replaces them with more advanced practice.

Basic Practice – The majority of your students will complete this on-level assignment.

Modified Practice – Great option for students requiring a modified amount of homework per an IEP or 504. This is a cut down version of the Basic Practice assignment (one page only).

NOTE: The different forms are denoted by a discrete symbol in the bottom left corner of each page.

Included in this product:

-2-Page Worksheet for Notes (3 Versions)

-2-Page Worksheet for Practice/Homework (2 Versions) (+ a version with one page)

-Answer Keys

-Teacher's Guide with CCSS, objective, and directions for use

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., π²). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.
Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form 𝘹² = 𝘱 and 𝘹³ = 𝘱, where 𝘱 is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational.
