Lesson Plan th 8 Grade Math

Instructor: Meredith Ashy

Lesson Summary
Domain: Expressions and Equations Cluster: Work with radicals and Integer exponents Standards: Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example: 3^2 x 3^-5 = 3^-3 = 1/3^3 = 1/27 Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x^2=p and x^3=p, where p is a positive rational number Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times and integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small perfect cubes

Objectives
Students will be able to write, identify, and apply expressions Also, Identify, write, solve, and apply equations
