Description
***You get 2 versions for differentiation!
Included in this document are 18 cards containing problems and answers. Students must simplify square roots in both versions, but the second version also contains rationalizing the denominator and the application of fraction exponents in which students must simplify the square root in order to solve completely. There is also a recording sheet and an answer key.
This activity corresponds to Texas Algebra 1 TEKs:
-11(A): simplify numerical radical expressions involving square roots; and (supporting)
-11(B): simplify numeric and algebraic expressions using the laws of exponents, including integral and rational exponents. (Readiness - included in version 2)
This can be completed individually or in pairs, as a test review, homework assignment, classwork activity, or station.
Students should be given all 18 cards, scissors, and tape or glue. They cut apart the outside of the cards on the solid line, and match the problem on the bottom of one card to the answer on the top of another. They should end where they began, which is why the activity is self checking.
My students love these activities, because they can check themselves as they go, and work at their own pace. We loop them together and make a giant paper chain to hang in the hallway! They also can easily be folded and taped into an Interactive Notebook.
