8th Grade Lessons (9/13 - 9/15/10)

This weeks lessons have covered Perfect Squares, Radical Numbers and Simplifying Radical terms that are not perfect squares. It is very important that students know their perfect squares (which were highlighted in their agendas in class on today), as well as their multiplication facts, which can be downloaded for free from the internet as well.
