After going over our entry task and homework, the lesson for today focused on dividing radicals. We simplified several together just using our knowledge of mental math and perfect squares. We then spent some time reducing fractions under the radical before then taking out the perfect squares. The last portion of the lesson dealt with rationalizing the denominator. We will continue to work on this skill on into next week as well. The students then got a start on their homework.
