Rationalizing The Denominator Do Activity

I already posted nigh our recent Algebra 1 unit of measurement on radicals. But, I simply realized I forgot to portion the inquiry stack I created to assistance my students practise rationalizing the denominator.

Question stacks are i of my favorite practise structures. Students are given a double-sided deck of 10 cards. One side of the bill of fare features a question. The other side features the respond to a DIFFERENT question.

Students laid about the activity past times turning over all of the cards to expose ALL of the answers. I say my students this is their respond bank.

Then, students flip over i bill of fare of their choosing. This volition endure their offset work to solve. When students detect the solution, it should endure inwards the respond banking concern if they convey done everything correctly. They selection upwardly the solution bill of fare together with flip it over to expose the adjacent question.

I dearest inquiry stacks because they are self-checking. This way I tin focus my assistance on the groups struggling the most. The respond banking concern gets smaller together with smaller alongside each inquiry which helps produce pupil confidence.

Here are the questions. I position boxes closed to the questions to brand them easier to spot.

And, here's the respond bank.

Here are some pictures of my students inwards action:

I convey uploaded the file for this inquiry stack here.
