Exponent Review
Lesson Outline
Today we began by reviewing HW. J.Paul showed that he had difficulty with the assignment. We decided that we would continue to move onto exponents, while continuing to review factoring/solving quadratics. We will do this by starting the day with “warmups” and assigning 1-2 problems daily so he can continue to review. We tried to get J.Paul set up on his online account, however we had some difficulty. I will be reaching out to Megan regarding that.
J.Paul and I took review notes on properties of exponents and did practice together. We also reviewed the relationship between fraction exponents and radicals (roots). We will continue with this concept tomorrow. This is a great topic to transition into the new material which we will begin when he returns from his trip to Oregon.

Lesson Comments
J.Paul likes exponents more than factoring! He has a quick brain, he reaches calculations in his head extremely fast. We are working on “showing his work” more, so I can see his thought process. I’ve explained if he just writes an answer and it’s wrong, I can’t give him partial credit because I don’t know what he did. But if he shows his work step by step, it’s easier to see where the error occurred.
