Radical Equations and Relationships - Unit 8 Bundle - Texas Algebra 2 Curriculum

Get a complete, ready-to-print unit covering topics from the Algebra 2 TEKS including square root, cube root, and cubic function transformations; solving radical equations; solving equations with rational exponents; find and graph the inverse of quadratic/square root and cubic/cube root functions.

UNIT OVERVIEW:

This unit extends students' knowledge of function transformations to square root functions y = √(x), cubic functions y = x³. and cube root functions y = ∛(x). Students will write equations of transformed functions and describe transformations including vertical stretch and compression, horizontal stretch and compression, vertical and horizontal translation, and reflection about the x-axis and y-axis.

This unit also introduces solving radical equations, including square root equations, cube root equations, and equations involving rational exponents. Students will identify extraneous solutions of square root functions.

Finally, students will build on their knowledge of inverse functions by finding and graphing the inverse of cubic, cube root, quadratic, and square root functions including domain restrictions when necessary.

These no-prep resources include 7 lessons with guided notes, an exit ticket, a next-day warm-up, and 2 extra practice assignments per lesson.  The unit also includes mid-unit and end-of-unit reviews, mid-unit and end-of-unit editable assessments, and concept organizers. Increase student engagement with 10 TEKS-aligned activities!

TEACHERS LOVE the worked-out keys included with the lessons notes. Feel confident delivering instruction on these sometimes tricky topics! It is a major time-saver if you don’t have quite enough time to create your own guided notes key for the day.

STUDENTS LOVE the reduced note-taking burden with the guided notes handouts. Fill-in-the-blank vocabulary improves the accuracy of students’ notes and frees up more time for showing mathematical steps. 

TEACHERS LOVE the multiple versions of each practice worksheet, review, and assessment and they take full advantage of the EDITABLE versions of the mid-unit assessment form and unit test.

STUDENTS LOVE the complementary concept organizers that help them organize concepts and procedures.  

TEACHERS LOVE the pre-made exit tickets and next-day warm-ups that support skills from every lesson in the unit. Print 4-per-page or project on the board and record answers on scratch paper.

STUDENTS LOVE the variety of fun and engaging activities!

A note from Allison at Math Beach Solutions about standards alignment: This resource was designed from the ground up to provide ready-made resources for Texas teachers to implement to facilitate their students’ mastery of the Algebra 2 TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills TAC §111.40). A considerable effort has been made to ensure the TEKS are addressed thoroughly, but these resources will reflect my understanding of the TEKS. As always, continue to use your professional judgment and experience when lesson planning.
