Her mother has given her $20 to shop with. She buys a scarf for $10.95 and a bracelet for $7.84. How much money will she have remaining after she makes these items?]]> 2016-08-17 20:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656658 https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656670 Take problem #14, You can break it up in to whole numbers and the then the numbers behind the decimals. so 7 + 1 and then .2 + .8 then add those totals together. ]]> 2016-08-17 20:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656670 https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656680 #24. Solve two ways... one way is by taking the square root of numerator and denominator, then divide.  Another way is to divide first, then find square root.

#26. You can solve the parentheses first OR you can distribute first.]]> 2016-08-17 20:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656680 https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656758 For comparing expressions with radicals you could have a series where you increase or decrease the radical on each side so that students would understand that that is not changing the relationship .

 :)  

You could also give more complicated equations where they may need something from the previous equation to solve.]]> 2016-08-17 20:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656804 https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656899 They could look at the problems and first decide if their answer will be positive or negative based on the two numbers in the problem. Then try to work out the number portion of the answer.]]> 2016-08-17 20:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118656899 https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118657130 We agree with CEC as well and saw several others problems that allowed for similar flexibility. With number 25, you can find the square root of each radical and then multiply the two OR you can multiply the radicals and find the product's square root. ]]> 2016-08-17 20:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lynn_skinner/flexibility/wish/118657130
