Agenda 1.Math Talk Expectations 2.Come up with what
happens when students do not follow expectations
3.Number Talk 4.Review Last weeks test 5.5. Start rational exponents!
Number Talk
Devonte received $ 500 which was 115% of a number. He has to give 75% of that number to Larry. How much will Larry receive?
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:1. Simplify expressions with rational exponents.
2. Use properties of rational exponents.
3. Write an expression involving rational exponents in simplest form.
4. Perform operations with rational exponents.
5. Simplify expressions that have variables and rational exponents.
6. Write an expression involving variables and rational exponents in simplest form.
7. Perform operations with rational exponents and variables.
