We will be learning to Simplify Radicals and using Radicals in the four basic operations with like terms and different terms. day 1 - Simplify Radicals day 2 - Addition and Subtraction with Radicals day 3- Multiplication and Division with Radicals I start my classes with reviewing and relating what they already understand about the topic before introducing new material and concepts. I always like to bridge an understanding to real world examples, especially with the mathematics vocabulary. I teach from a Power Point presentation and model examples myself. Then I have students work through examples with me. I also have them practice with the concepts in various ways and try some problems on their own, with my guidance. I always encourage communication and participation. If requested, I will provide a worksheet to follow along with the lesson presentation with the problems written out for them.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to simplify radicals using two different methods and be able to use simplified radicals in mathematical operations.Other Details
Supply List
Students will need paper, a pencil, and a calculator with a square root button. A worksheet with the problems from the lesson written out for them can be provided, if requested.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Utah Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I'm Mrs. Essmeier, and I love teaching Mathematics. There are so many wonderful patterns to discover with numbers. Understanding why you use certain equations and how these concepts work is an important part of mathematics. My objective is to help my students to understand the connection between the math they learn and the real world in which they live. Mathematics is something you will use every day in one way or another. The more you know and understand, the more you will use.
I provide one on one tutoring for one, two, or three days for one week or ongoing. My tutoring includes the topics found in the curricula for most 6th through 10th grades - number sense, equations, functions, graphing, geometry, fractions, decimals, and more.
I teach Monday - Friday. Please contact me to request times (include time zone) and days available.
I retired from teaching school after 39 years, but I'm not tired of teaching. I've been on Outschool since the fall of 2020. My various degrees include a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education, a Masters degree in Mathematics Education, a Math Specialist enhanced level 2, and an ESL endorsement. My teaching experiences include grades 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th for 30 years. I then moved to the middle school and taught 7th and 8th grade for nine years.
I do hope to help many more learners understand and appreciation the beauty and need for mathematics.Reviews
