The Raddies

On April 14th, 2022, students voted on a number of categories (via Google Forms) and winners and nominees were announced in each category. Special thanks to our Slot A host, Blake Hayward, and to Teddy Torres-Shapter and his crew who helped setup the red carpet :-)

Instructions for Students

In addition to the Quizizz that's been posted, you have a short video to create :-)

In groups of 4 we will choose 4 questions (see the attached sheets for groups A-G - choose questions that address the 4 learning objectives listed below - double check with me if you're not sure), and each group will be tasked with creating 4 solution videos for the questions. Each person should work on the problems individually, then together agree on the solution. Each person should star in their own video, and all videos will be shared with your classmates as a study guide. Groups will be decided March 30th - teacher's choice!

In the files attached, questions 1-10 are unique for each group, but question 11 and the problems 1-12 are not. So in questions 11 (Objective 7.3), the group will do the question A-G that corresponds to their group number. For objective 7.4, you can choose to do a problem from 1-7 (corresponding to A-G) in the same way, but you can choose a radical equation from the short answer that could have two possible solutions either. Clear as mud, right!? It will make sense when you open the pdf files for your group.

Videos should:

- Show the question being solved

- Show the solution - it should be accurate!

- Be creative :-) The idea here is to create something fun and memorable, and not just a straight explanation of the solution. Maybe it's magic. Maybe it makes you dance or sing. Maybe the answer comes to you while you're doing something else. Maybe your group decides on a trope to tie the videos together (not necessary, just one of a thousand ideas)... you decide!

Videos should be around 30-60 seconds. April 14th is movie day, snacks permitted :-)

Learning Goal 7:

I can use my knowledge of radicals to simplify and solve radical expressions and equations.

7.1: I can write a given radical as a mixed radical or entire radical.

7.2: I can perform one or more operations to simplify radical expressions with numerical or variable radicands.

7.3: I can rationalize the denominator of a rational expression with a monomial or binomial denominator and describe the process.

7.4: I can solve radical equations and identify restrictions and extraneous roots (models, word problems, etc...).

Group A Questions (Sample)

Notes:

1. Some of the student's work here does include some slight errors. Revisions should be done and submitted on paper.

2. Some students who had extended periods out of class (i.e. Covid) were exempt from the video creation, but they are still expected to select appropriate questions that address the learning objectives.

3. Some videos were submitted late, and weren't part of viewing day or voting, but may appear in the lists above as they become available.

4. If your video isn't listed please let me know!
