Solving Radical Equations

Fun coloring activity to review Solving Radical Equations. There are 20 radical equations which become progressively more challenging with 4 levels of difficulty: 9 “single radical” equations, 3 “radical equals radical” equations, 3 “radical equals variable” equations and 5 “radical equals binomial” equations.

This Radical Equations Coloring Activity resource is recommended AFTER teaching solving basic radical equations (Solving Radical Equations Task Cards LEVEL 1 or Solving Radical Equations Task Cards LEVEL 2) as some problems will require students to take the extra step of solving the quadratic equation to find the solution. This resource works well as independent practice, homework, extra credit or even as an assignment to leave for the substitute (includes answer key!)

Top 3 Reasons to Use Coloring Activities in the Classroom:

1- Coloring activities minimize off-task student behavior (making it more likely for students to complete the assignment in the allotted time frame) because they want to see what the end result will look like.

2- Coloring activities make self-checking simple for students: “I got blue for #5…how’d you get red?”

3- Coloring activities provide the teacher with a way to quickly assess student understanding while floating around the room: “Marie’s coloring sheet looks off…I better go over to her desk and check on how she’s doing.”

Worried about kids just coloring?…I was too. I require my students to have work shown for each problem as I would with any assignment: “Turning in a beautiful piece of art without the math to back it up doesn’t count as doing your assignment, kiddos!”
