Choose one challenge at a time

Start with a focused choice of operations or expression types. Combine them when the learner can explain the rule being used, as well as calculate the result.

Read the domain printed on variable problems. A simplified expression must keep any values excluded by the original denominator or radical.

The preview and downloaded PDF use the same resolved questions. Answers follow on separate pages; choose the student-only edition when handing out the exercise.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Distribute radical products, simplify each resulting term and combine like radical parts.

Worked example

Expand and simplify (√3 + 2)(√3 − 1).

1 + √3.

The four products are 3, −√3, 2√3 and −2. Combine the rational terms and the matching radical terms.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Draw a small product grid for two binomials.
  • Keep all products visible before combining.
  • Multiply coefficients separately from radicands.
  • Check the stated variable domain before applying root product rules.
