This seminar will teach you how to perform the four basic mathematical operations on expressions containing radicals. It will also show you how to rationalize the denominator of a fraction that contains radicals. You will apply your knowledge of factorization and perfect squares of both integers and variables in order to simplify the radicals. You will extend your knowledge of simplifying expressions to include those that contain radicals. You will rationalize denominators in order to place expressions in simplest radical form.StandardsCC.2.2.8.B.1Apply concepts of radicals and integer exponents to generate equivalent expressions.

The purpose of this task is to give students the opportunity to use mathematics in real-world applications. In this task, students are introduced to the ongoing problem of affordable housing faced by state and national community builders and city planners. Students are presented with two data tables illustrating cost of housing and wage increases over 20 years. Students discuss questions they can ask and answer using this data. They will calculate the cost increase of housing over time and compare it to wage increase, concluding with a discussion about the comparison. Includes slides to support the implementation of "Housing Our Community (Grades 3-5)" Math Performance Task with charts, images, etc.
