01
Introduction to Roots and Radicals
Frames the lesson goals—simplifying radicals and solving radical equations—and reminds students they should already recall prime factorization, perfect squares/cubes, laws of exponents, combining like terms, and basic equation solving.
02
Roots as Inverses of Exponents
Defines n-th roots and radical notation, showing how they reverse exponentiation and build on the exponent laws mastered in the Exponents and Powers lesson.
03
Simplifying Square Roots
Teaches the prime-factorization method for reducing square roots, refreshing students’ earlier work with factor trees and recognition of perfect squares.
04
Practice: Square-Root Simplification
Provides guided SAT-style exercises that reinforce the step-by-step simplification process introduced in the previous slide.
05
Operations with Radicals
Presents the product and quotient rules for radicals and shows how to multiply and divide radical expressions, extending students’ prior work with integer exponents and distribution.
06
Rationalizing Denominators
Demonstrates techniques for eliminating radicals from denominators—including conjugates—building on earlier fraction-simplification skills.
07
Higher-Order Roots and Fractional Exponents
Connects cube, fourth, and n-th roots to fractional-exponent notation and extends the exponent laws to simplify and evaluate these expressions.
08
Practice: Other Radicals & Fractional Exponents
Offers scaffolded problems that apply Slide 7 ideas to simplify higher-order radicals and fractional-exponent expressions.
09
Solving Radical Equations
Explains how to isolate a radical and square both sides—then check for extraneous roots—building on earlier linear-equation techniques.
10
Practice: Radical Equations
Provides SAT-style questions that require solving and verifying radical equations, reinforcing the procedure from Slide 9.
11
Key Takeaways and Targeted Practice
Synthesizes all lesson objectives—simplification, operations, and equation solving—through a mini-quiz that revisits exponent laws and factoring for spiral review.
