1. Which is the odd one out?

2. Surds Know what is meant by surd form. Understand the process of simplifying surds. To able to explain what you can multiply a surd by so that it is no longer a surd.

3. What is a surd Integer – a whole number – not a fraction Irrational Number – cannot be written as a simple fraction. Surd – a square root (sqrt) which cannot be simplified to remove the sqrt. Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, … Example:

4. Simplifying Surds You can simplify some sqrts into surds. Rules for surds What numbers times together to make 27 TIP 1: one of them should be a square number

5. Simplifying Surds Try out this one Rules for surds What numbers times together to make 75 TIP 1: one of them should be a square number

6. Simplifying Surds Try out this one Quite long sometimes TIP 2: Look for Prime Factors

13. Can you do this? Example: This is as far as you can go, this is the answer

14. SURD Dominoes Starting with the START card, each domino piece will spell out a joke.

15. SURD Dominoes WHAT IS INVISIBLE AND SMELLS OF CARROTS? BUNNY TRUMPS!

16. What’s to a surd? Surds are much more accurate since it is not rounded. Surds are easier to deal with algebraically once simplified Surds can be rationalised

17. Rationalising Surds Rationalising a surd turns it into a rational number. This helps solve sqrts by cancelling out some surds TIP: Simplify the two surds Rules for surds
