Simplifying Radicals worksheet description It satisfies some of the requirements for common core algebra (HSN.RN.2). These radical expressions has terms with coefficients and variables. The purpose of this assignment is to reinforce the concept of finding perfect squares and to use the properties of exponents to solve problems. This is done taking factors under the radical symbol and use the parenthesis to change perfect squares to squares (i.e. √(x^16 )=√((x^8 )^2 )=x^8). The first s

This worksheet has 6 problems: standard, modified, and answer key worksheets provided. Common core standard (HSA.APR.D.6). All of the problems have the same level of complexity. This is the first homework after the introduction to the concept of dividing polynomials. It is important the check is completed. It helps ensure a correct answer and builds confidence in their math. The modified sheet is for my ELL, remedial, and inclusion students. A modified sheet will have one of the problems

It satisfies some of the requirements for common core algebra (HSN.RN.A.2). These radical expressions has terms with coefficients and variables. The purpose of this assignment is to reinforce the concept of finding perfect squares and to use the properties of exponents to solve problems. This is done taking factors under the radical symbol and use the parenthesis to change perfect squares to squares (i.e. √(x^16 )=√((x^8 )^2 )=x^8). Eleven of the problems will result in perfect squa

Explore how to find volume and surface area of real world pyramids. This lesson satisfies the some of the requirements for common core 7.G.6, 8.G.7 and G.GMD.3. It is well suited for the intermediate (middle) or high school students. There are six pyramids featured in this worksheet: The Great Pyramids of Giza, The Pyramid of Kululcan, The Pyramid at the Louvre, Pyramid of the Magician, The Pyramid of the Sun and The Luxor Hotel. A prerequisite for this lesson is that students know how to us

This satisfies the some of the requirements for common core HSN.RN.A.2. • Use 8 by 5 index cards for printing, laminate for year after year use. • Allow students to use exist cards to dismiss a class. o Correct answer, let them go to lunch, recess, etc… o Wrong answer, go to back of the line try again • Cards 3-4 are vocabulary words. • Cards 5-63 (odd) has radicals not simplified. • Cards 6-64 (even) shows intermediate step with the perfect square in blue and answers in green. • Cards 65-72 h

This satisfies the some of the requirements for common core HSN.RN.A.1. The purpose of this assignment is to reinforce the concept of simplifying and adding radicals. The first eleven problems have common radicands. The other problems has radicands that require simplification to solve. This worksheet is two pages in length, but there are a modified set, limited answer key and answer key for a total of eight pages. Prerequisite for students to know is the basic squares of commonly use valu

This satisfies the some of the requirements for common core HSN.RN.A.1. The purpose of this assignment is to reinforce the concept of simplifying and adding radicals. This worksheet is an additional assignment to “Adding Radicals #1” to give students more practice. Only Problem #8 has common radicands. The other problems has radicands that require simplification to solve. This worksheet is one page in length, but there are a modified set, limited answer key and answer key for a total of f

This satisfies the some of the requirements for common core HSN.RN.A.1. The purpose of this assignment is to reinforce the concept of simplifying and adding radicals. This worksheet is an additional assignment to “Adding Radicals #1 & 2” to give students more practice. The main variation on this worksheet is that the students must write down the steps used to solve the problem; students might write add/subtraction instead of collect like radicals. I also included extra credit if students pu

It satisfies some of the requirements for common core algebra (HSN.RN.B.3). These radical expressions has terms with coefficients and variables. The purpose of this assignment is to reinforce the concept of using the correct steps to multiply radicals. I like to have the students write what step they are using to solve the problem. Problems #2 and 9 don’t have variables, the rest of the expressions does have variables. This worksheet is two pages in length, but there are a modified set
