Teacher Reflection—Did the students learn the content outlined in the lesson focus? Why or why not?
In previous lessons, students have learned the basic concept of square roots. In this lesson, they will visually associate square roots with
the area of a square and solve for the side lengths? They will also learn that square roots cancel out exponents to the second power.

8.NS.A.2 Whole Group Instruction
Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational
numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the
value of expressions (e.g., pi^2). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of Whole Group Instruction-

Main Concept: To undo exponents, you need to take its root to reverse exponents.
Example: 22 = 4 ← To undo this answer we use the square root.
Right, but here’s a trick with square roots. Square roots have two answers!
Remember, sq.rts are asking us what two numbers when multiplied together will gets us the number under the radical.
This includes positives and negatives!
Thus, -2 x -2 = 4, but so does 2 x 2 = 4.
LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE
The good news is that if you can figure out the positive root for square roots, the negative root is the same answer but
with a negative sign on the outside of the radical.
This actually works with other even number powers, but that is a lesson for high school mathematics.
How many solutions does the following question have? List them
X2 = 36
Take the square root on both sides:
X = 6 and -6
But if square roots undo exponents to the second power, then does that mean exponents undo roots?
Why would I not want to use the negative answer for this problem?
x= +/- 12

In this introduction lesson, students will learn how cube roots are related to exponents to the third power. Students will
make connections between exponents and roots and how they undo one another. This is to help prepare them for solving
for the Pythagorean theorem next week.

However, cube roots and odd power exponents have a special rule. The rule states that you can have negative
radicands for cube roots and odd power exponents. We won’t go further than cube roots, but in high school you will
see this idea again.
X3 = -8
Take the cube root on both sides to get your answer.
x= -2
Easy way to check your answer makes sense is to multiply it out three times.
x3= -216
Memorize your perfect cubes up to 10.
