Assessment	At the start (formative)	At the end (formative or summative)
	Task/Activity:	Task/Activity:
	What I am looking for: Have a basic understanding of what is radical and radical number Understand and use the 4 rules for square roots in operations	What I am looking for: Have a great understanding of what is a radical number  Be able to operate multiplication/division or a combination of both for radical numbers

Preparation	Materials/Resources	Organization (setup, pre-made things, classroom management, etc.)
	Textbook (Haese Mathematics for international students Grade 8) Whiteboard on Zoom	Open Zoom  Open textbook PDF on my laptop

Learning Engagements	Opening (provocation, APK/S, mental set)		Time
	Self-introduction  My classroom management philosophy and rules  I don’t want to see laptops and phones on  When I am talking, no one should talk, and I want you all to listen  Please put your hand up when you want to speak (zoom: tell your name and speak) Quick lesson plan rundown  Review of square roots 4 Rules for square roots  Practice questions		3
	Strategy		Time
		LEADING QUESTION/REVIEW  Understanding the relationship & similarities of following numbers  4,9,16,25 —2,3,4,5 Write the above numbers on the board, ask student what connections they see between these numbers  BASIC MATH LANGUAGE OF SQUARE ROOTS  Square root of number a  Radical and surd (show some examples)  INTRODUCE THE 4 RULES  Introduce the multiplication and division of radical numbers while introducing the three rules. Work thought 2 multiplication/division problems with students together.       ASSIGN PRACTICE QUESTION (STUDENT WORK TIME)	2 5 5
	Closure / Resolution		Time
	Where do you think students will struggle in the lesson?  What will you do to counter this?
	I think students will struggle to pick the right/more efficient way to solve division problems in fraction decimal forms. The concept of surd radicals might confuse them when they start learning how to simplify a radical number. Encourage them to use “trial and error” method to solve questions. Always double check your answer using a calculator if it’s allowed.
