This lesson was math by brute force. We used estimation and multiplication to narrow our approximation of irrational numbers to the nearest hundredth. ![]()
In this lesson we converted repeating decimals to fractions by setting up equations and simplifying. It was a sophisticated lesson, and I think students were challenged by it. ![]()
This video lesson introduced students to the formal concept and definition of rational and irrational numbers. ![]()
We began to use what we know about square roots and radicals to solve basic equations involving square roots, squares, and cubes. ![]()
On this day, we learned how to simplify square roots by extracting perfect square factors from a square root. ![]()
This lesson builds on our understanding of square roots and introduces the concept of cube roots. ![]()
During this lesson, we learned rudimentary ways to estimate the value of an imperfect square root. We began approximating irrational numbers as closer to a particular whole number, but will refine this in future lessons. ![]()
This lesson had us revisit the Pythagorean Theorem, but this time we explored situations where a, b, and c might not ALL be whole numbers. We looked at what happens if one of our side lengths is an irrational number. ![]()
This is our study guide to support our understanding of statistics and linear functions--specifically scatter plots and lines of best fit, and two way analysis of categorical data. Answer Key below. ![]()
