9-3 Rewriting Radical Expressions – We practiced finding square roots of whole numbers. Then we practiced finding square roots of variables with exponents. Next we practiced simplifying radical expressions with whole numbers and variables with exponents under the same radical. Then we took a quiz on Simplifying Radical Expressions. Then we moved on to multiplying radicals. We multiplied radicals under the square root and simplified the answer.
We will continue doing problem solving examples related to standardized testing. This will prepare David for upcoming testing. If we finish this today, we will begin studying topics from Algebra 2.

We did not finish the problem solving today. We found some challenging problems that require a lot of time to solve. David is progressing nicely through these problems.
We will continue to do problems related to standard testing as a way to determine topics that need more study.

Lesson Comments
I tried to continue doing problems, but Cam had no interest in doing any problems. To at least do some math, we did a probability simulation and found probability value related to the simulation. The simulation involved winning streaks in a baseball season.
9-3 Rewriting Radical Expressions – We practiced using the properties of exponents to rewrite radical expressions. Then we multiplied radical expressions. Next we learned to write a radical expression to model or represent a real-world problem. We practiced writing radical expressions in simplest form.
Assignment: Complete the assigned problems for homework.
We will continue work on solving stanaardized test type questions. This will allow us to review Algebra 1 and prepare for upcoming testing.

Lesson Comments
Cam refuses to participate in completing the taks that are planned. He sees no need to learn math. His responses to the work at hand are very minimal Today he only did three problems out of twenty that were expected.
9-3 Rewriting Radical Expressions – We learned to use properties of exponents to rewrite radical expressions. Then we multiplied radical expressions. Next we learned to write a radical expression to model or represent a real-world problem.
Assignment: Complete the assigned problems for homework.
We will solve problems of various types with a variety of methods. This will help identify areas that require more work and also prepare for upcoming standardized tests.

Lesson Comments
We were able to complete 12 problems. We identified several areas of Algebra 1 that Cam needs to review. Cam left class 15 minutes early.
We are doing practice tests for the upcoming standardized testing. This will also allow us to identify concepts in Algebra 1 that need more explanation.
