Term 2 Wk1 Wed - 3E1 AMaths - Surds

Before starting the lesson, I reminded the students the need to hand in their assignment on time. This class has the habit of handing in work late. It will require more monitoring and reminding. 

Continued the lesson with Surds practice question in the worksheet. Students are still not well versed in the 6 rules especially reduction and normalising the denominator to simplify Surds expression. Some students are not good in multipling two Surds together e.g. sq root of 5 x sq root of 5 to get result of 5. Some will forget to multiply the sq root all together. Generally this is a topic that students do not really like. Have encouraged the students to simplify the question using alegrabric subsititution instead of solving the question totally in surds form. Hope this will help.
