DeMoivre's Theorem and nth Roots: The nth Roots of Unity
The nth roots of unity all have a magnitude of one. Scholars use the unit circle and DeMoivre's Theorem to find the complex roots of one and discover that the complex numbers all lie on the unit circle and are equally spaced around it...

Statements of Order in the Real World
Positive and negative numbers are all around us. Groups read short story contexts and identify a rational number that represents the values in the context. They order the rational numbers and interpret statements of inequality.

Estimating Quantities
Apply the concept of magnitude to estimate values and compare numbers. The ninth lesson of the 15-part series asks learners to write numbers to their next greatest power of 10 and then make comparisons. Scholars begin to understand the...
