Arithmetic and Square Roots - Week 1

Familiarize young mathematicians with the radical concept of square roots using this set of skills practice problems. Building on prior knowledge about combining like terms in algebraic expressions, this activity helps students learn the...

There are many ways to approach finding the rational approximation of an unknown square root. Here is a problem that will help math learners make a connection between square roots and their order on a number line. As usual, determine two...

Introducing square roots into the quadratic equation mix, Sal takes care to address the ways viewers might go about solving the problems, both correctly and incorrectly. The video is an integral step in not only Sal's algebra series, but...

This lesson plan has a number of fun worksheets for a pre-algebra or beginning algebra class. The main emphasis of this lesson plan is functions, formulas, and looking at square roots. It is the third lesson plan in a series on solving...

If your class has a grasp of square roots, but is having difficulty with the product property of square roots, this video might be for you! In the video, an instructor completes a short proof of the property, defines the property, and...

Before defining the quotient property of square roots, the teacher in this video works through an example that shows how the property is possible. She then goes through a couple more examples of the property in action. Show this resource...

Try out a resource using triangles to estimate radicals. An interactive app allows learners to approximate some irrational numbers involving square roots. They find the two consecutive numbers that an irrational number lies between by...
