The way I teach this skill is very easy to learn and your child will be prepared for success in Algebra. I will show students how to do an exercise on the whiteboard. They will learn how to simplify radicals by actually doing example exercises during class. For example, students will learn how to simplify an expression like this: SQRT(50)=5*SQRT(2). I will use the factor tree method followed by my own "twist". I will repeat with another exercise and will explain as many times as needed until the students are ready to do the exercises by themselves. Once started, I will check their answers for accuracy and follow up with any necessary explanations. I encourage all participants to try as many exercises as possible. I follow up the class with an upload of homework with the solutions. Course breakdown: Week 1: Simplifying radicals. (√50 = 5 √2) Week 2: Adding and subtracting radicals. ( √5 + √50) Week 3: Multiplying radicals. Week 4: Rationalizing. Week 5: Dividing Radicals Week 6: Simplifying cube roots, 4th roots, etc Week 7: Simplifying radicals with variables. Week 8:Solving basic radical equations. √x = x + 2

Students want concise and simple explanations.
I have developed my own method of teaching this skill.
I have successfully taught this skill to hundreds of students .
Once you learn it you will never forget it.
After watching Khan Academy and You tube videos on this topic I have seen nothing like the method I teach.
This skill is essential in order to learn Algebra properly.
I provide quality instruction to your child, you will be glad you chose me as his/her math teacher.
