We have been working on exponents for quite some time now, so I wanted to give Ben the opportunity to expand. I introduced the topic of fraction powers and how to change them into radicals/roots. Ben was hesitant to stop his video and legos to do work, but he complied when I asked him to. I asked him questions like, "What would that reduce to?" and he answered, "I don't know." I asked him what about it did he not understand and he shrugged his shoulders. I continued to try to get him to respond (to questions that I know he knows), but he was not interested in participating. He closed his eyes and put his head down and fell asleep.
