The lesson begins very simply by instructing the students to continue working on yesterday’s worksheet, “Solving Radical Equations”. If appropriate, I may review the solutions to the first 5 or 6 problems by asking the students what solutions they arrived at. If the bulk of the class is in agreement on the correct solution, I will affirm it. If a significant number of students have an incorrect solution, I will ask one of them to explain their method while I act as their scribe at the board. Once the mistake(s) have been identified in a way that respects the student and affirms what is correct in their reasoning, the correct solution will be given. Once the solutions to the first 5 or 6 problems have been given, I will ask the students to “pick up where they left off.”
