Dry Erase Live Mat For Simplifying Radicals

Yesterday, I got a jeopardy to endeavor out the piece of job mat I created for my students to endure piece simplifying radicals.  I printed the piece of job mat on posters, as well as I used it to brand giant Farkle score sheets a distich of weeks ago.  

Just earlier Christmas, I purchased a railroad train of 11 x 17 dry out erase pockets (affiliate link) that lets me direct keep my 11 x 17 carte du jour stock (affiliate link) as well as plough it into a reusable activity.  

The piece of job mat isn't anything fancy, but I created it inwards the hopes that it would assist my students endure along their piece of job to a greater extent than organized as well as less scattered as well as sloppy.  

I gave my students a dedicated house to seat their piece of job for finding the prime factorization.  This year, I gave my students a alternative betwixt using ingredient trees as well as the birthday cake method for prime factorization.  I discovery that most of my students prefer the ingredient tree, but the students who brand the to the lowest degree mistakes are the ones who endure the birthday cake method.  

In the piece of job box, students rewrite their radical using the prime factorization as well as expect for numbers as well as variables they tin direct keep the appropriate foursquare root, cube root, etc. of.  Then, students direct keep a split upward box to write their terminal solution.  

To assist my students out, I gave them a department at the bottom of the page that includes all of the prime numbers below 100.  This year, I gave my students a page to gum inwards their notebooks alongside the primes nether 100.  My students who direct keep had me previously asked why I hadn't given them ane of these finally year.  I guess they establish it useful. :) 

I also direct keep a prime let on poster hanging on the wall that students oftentimes reference. 

I establish a Connect iv action on Jo at Resourceaholic for giving me approximately awesome links to expect through!  

We had to direct keep a give-and-take almost what surds are since I took this action off a United Kingdom of Great Britain as well as Northern Ireland website.  Then, nosotros talked almost the fact that my Australian husband also refers to them equally surds.

One fry was then bothered past times the fact that it said "surds" instead of "radicals" that he took his dry out erase marking as well as changed the title!

Here's a movie that shows the size deviation betwixt my 9" x 12" dry out erase pockets (affiliate link) as well as my 11" x 17" dry out erase pockets (affiliate link).

Here are approximately pictures of my students using the dry out erase piece of job mat to organize their piece of job for the Connect iv game.

When I told my students to commencement cleaning up, at that spot were many protests because they wanted to only solve a few to a greater extent than problems.  I definitely telephone phone this a winning activity!
