Monday 4th July – Rationalising – when there is a surd on the denominator of a fraction

Monday 4th July – Rationalising – when there is a surd on the denominator of a fraction

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Discover a method for 'getting rid of' a denominator that includes a surd.

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to rationalise a surd, ensuring that there is no surd in the denominator

STARTER: Watch and Listen carefully to this video (NB You will have to logon to iRodillian to play this video) it last 9mins and 15 seconds

LESSON: Have a go at Question 6 & 7 on page 196 – Check answers as you complete each question from Page 614.

I any students are struggling with these try taking them through this PowerPoint.

PLENARY: Check answers to questions. Get some feedback on their confidence – students use five finger feedback with me – they hold fingers up to show their confidence – 0 fingers – can't do it, five fingers – easy peasy!!
