Of squares and roots...

Another week has come and gone, and I'm sure you all enjoyed this past week, if for nothing else because it was a SHORT one! To recap, last week, we got more into our study of squares and square roots. I taught you all the following points: every positive number has two square roots, a positive one and a negative one. Secondly, I taught you three situations that you would see which would require you to simplify square roots. We also continued to work on and study exponents, scientific notation, and all the standards in probability which we studied before we got into square roots. The week culminated with Test-takin' Thursday (I didn't know that all of my colleagues had also scheduled tests for that day, but I'm sure you all did fine).

This week, we will learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide expressions which have square roots, and then we will get into our next GPS Task for this nine weeks, exploring what we have learned about exponential powers of 10. See ya in the Red Hallway, Knights! 801, SECOND TO NONE!
