Simplifying Radicals – Day 1
It doesn't get simpler than this. Scholars first learn to simplify radicals by determining the prime factors of the radicand. The lesson progresses to simplifying radicals involving algebraic expressions in the radicand.
Curated OER
Evaluating Using The Order of Operations
Scholars are introduced to the usage of the Order of Operations. They explore the use of variables and how they are represented by any letter of the alphabet. They then engage in discussion for verbal assessment.
