MAFS.912.A-APR.1.1
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
MAFS.912.A-SSE.1.1
Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.
-
Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.
-
Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret as the product of P and a factor not depending on P.
August 21, 23, 25, 29
Students will:

September 22: Rational exponents lesson
Overview of radicals and rational exponents
Algebranation.com Section 1:
-
Topic 5: Properties of Exponents
-

-
Topic 7: Adding Expressions with Radicals and Rational Exponents
-
Topic 8: More Operations with Radicals and Rational Exponents
MAFS.912.A-SSE.1.2: Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x4 - y 4 as (x²)² – (y²)², thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x² – y²)(x² + y²).
MAFS.912.N-RN.1.1: Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents.
MAFS.912.N-RN.1.2: Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using properties of exponents.

Analyze various operations and make generalizations on the relationship between rational and irrational numbers.
Classifying rational and irrational numbers
Properties of sums and products of rational and irrational numbers
MAFS.912.N-RN.2.3: Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
