Operations With Radical Expressions

(View Complete Item Description)

This seminar will teach you how to perform the four basic mathematical operations on expressions containing radicals. It will also show you how to rationalize the denominator of a fraction that contains radicals. You will apply your knowledge of factorization and perfect squares of both integers and variables in order to simplify the radicals. You will extend your knowledge of simplifying expressions to include those that contain radicals. You will rationalize denominators in order to place expressions in simplest radical form.StandardsCC.2.2.8.B.1Apply concepts of radicals and integer exponents to generate equivalent expressions.

Factoring Monomials

(View Complete Item Description)

In this seminar you will learn how to factor monomials using prime factorization. You will apply prior knowledge about factoring integers. You will use the techniques learned in this seminar to factor polynomials with multiple terms as you move forward. When factoring monomials using this method, you will identify what product of prime numbers and variables will create the expression. This seminar will also begin finding the greatest common factor among multiple monomials, which is a skill that will be used moving forward on polynomials with multiple terms.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.3Extend the knowledge of arithmetic operations and apply to polynomialsCC.2.2.HS.D.6Extend the knowledge of rational functions to rewrite in equivalent forms.

Statistics Project: Sampling, Standard Deviation & Z-Scores

(View Complete Item Description)

In this statistics project, students will begin by sampling a population to answer their own designed question.  They will then use their sample to graph, find the mean and standard deviation, and illustrate their understanding of normal distribution.  They will then manipulate their data to make it "normal" and, after finding new samples, analyze the associated z-score and percents of that new data.
