Explore the process of simplifying square roots through an analysis of perfect squares. The fourth lesson of 25 expects individuals to find the perfect square factors in each radicand as a means of simplifying. The perfect square factor...

Make the irrational rational again! Continuing the theme from previous lessons in the series, the lesson relates the polynomial identity difference of squares to conjugates. Learners develop the idea of a conjugate through analysis and...

Investigate rational exponents in this math instructional activity. Scholars make conjectures about the relationship between rational exponents and radicals. They then use their Ti-Nspire to simplify rational exponents.

Learners simply roots and organize it. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve radicals by simplifying them. They solve for squares by taking the square root of both sides of the equation. They simplify and rationalize the...

Conquer any irrational fears you might have of irrational numbers. As class members investigate how to represent numbers geometrically, they learn about rational and irrational numbers, including approximating and ordering rational...

Young scholars model data using quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students simplify and factor quadratic equations. They graph the function using collected data and analyze the parabola.

Young scholars solve exponential functions and inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students find the roots of equations and use it to graph and evaluate exponential functions. They simplify exponents using the law of exponents.

Quadratic solutions come in all shapes and sizes, so help your classes find the right one! Learners use the quadratic formula to find solutions for quadratic equations. Solutions vary from one, two, and complex. 

Fold, fold, and fold some more. In the first installment of a 35-part module, young mathematicians fold a piece of paper in half until it can not be folded any more. They use the results of this activity to develop functions for the area...
