Today Carson and I started with a warm-up on how to simplify radicals. We worked on the white board. Carson used the factor tree to break down numbers into a product of primes. Then, he simplified the radical. We started with square roots, and then applied the same process with cube roots. Then we moved to an activity on the distance formula. I asked Carson to recall from yesterday what it was. He was SO close. This is a formula he will eventually need to have memorized (or he can derive it like we did yesterday with the pythagorean theorem). We practiced using the formula to find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane. Then Carson reduced the answers to their simplest form.
