Description
Finding meaningful practice for the simplification of radicals that works for every learner in your algebra class can feel impossible. This resource gives your students a structured, self-checking way to build confidence with simplifying radicals (square roots) across two levels of difficulty. Whether you have tech in the room or not, you are covered.
📋 WHATS INCLUDED
- 2 digital self-checking activities (Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel versions included)
- 2 printable worksheets aligned to the digital activities
- 2 levels of difficulty — Level 1 covers basic radicals, Level 2 introduces more complex expressions
- Answer key for the printable worksheets
- PDF with directions and Google Sheets link included in the zip folder
💛 WHY YOULL LOVE IT
This resource makes differentiation simple because both levels are ready to go without any extra prep on your part. The self-checking digital format reveals whether answers are correct only after all questions have been completed, so students cannot guess their way through one question at a time and actually have to think through the full set. This keeps the practice honest while still giving students immediate feedback at the end, and it keeps you free to work with small groups. The printable worksheets mirror the digital activities so you can switch between formats without skipping a beat, making it a perfect fit as a warm-up, center activity, independent practice, or homework in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, or any math class covering square roots.
