Standard 1: Generate equivalent expressions and perform operations with expressions involving exponents, radicals or logarithms.

Students are asked to rewrite the square root of five in exponential form and justify their choice of exponent.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students asked to show that two forms of an expression (exponential and radical) are equivalent.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents in equivalent forms.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to convert numerical expressions from exponential to radical form.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to convert a product of a radical and exponential expression to a single power of two.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to convert numerical expressions from radical to exponential form.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to transform an exponential expression so that the rate of change corresponds to a different time interval.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to use the properties of exponents to show that two expressions are equivalent and compare the two functions in terms of what each reveals.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students will learn how to find the area and perimeter of multiple polygons in the coordinate plane using the composition and decomposition methods, applying the Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem. Students will complete a Geometry Classroom Floor Plan group activity. Students will do a short presentation to discuss their results which leads to the realization that polygons with the same perimeter can have different areas. Students will also complete an independent practice and submit an exit ticket at the end of the lesson.

Type: Lesson Plan

This lesson uses Inverse Trigonometric Ratios to find acute angle measures in right triangles. Students will analyze the given information and determine the best method to use when solving right triangles. The choices reviewed are Trigonometric Ratios, The Pythagorean Theorem, and Special Right Triangles.

Type: Lesson Plan

Students will simplify and perform operations on radical expressions. Pairs of students will work on problems at different complexity levels that lead to the same solution. The students will challenge each other to prove their solutions are correct. This activity does not address rational exponents.

Type: Lesson Plan

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Use the properties of exponents, including rational exponents, and manipulate algebraic statements involving radicals.
• Discriminate between equations and identities.

There is also an opportunity to consider the role of the imaginary number , but this is optional.

Type: Lesson Plan

Learn to rewrite products involving radicals and rational exponents using properties of exponents in this interactive tutorial.

Type: Original Student Tutorial

The coffee cooling experiment is a popular example of an exponential model with immediate appeal. The model is realistic and provides a good context for students to practice work with exponential equations.

Type: Problem-Solving Task

The purpose of this task is to identify the structure in the two algebraic expressions by interpreting them in terms of a geometric context. Students will have likely seen this type of process before, so the principal source of challenge in this task is to encourage a multitude and variety of approaches, both in terms of the geometric argument and in terms of the algebraic manipulation.
