Algebra is not difficult! Algebra is just different. Time is required in order for things that are different to become things that are familiar. Often we learn better, quicker, and more when we collaborate!

Lesson 66 Simplification of Radical Expressions, Square Roots of Large Numbers
Follow the same steps you did the night before. Read and listen carefully!
Wednesday, March 27, 2013
This video covers the topics in lesson 65 concerning Addition of Radical Expressions.
READ THE POST ON HOW TO WATCH A VIDEO FOR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU START WATCHING THE VIDEO!
It would be best to watch the video full screen! Do the problems that the teacher suggests you do. Pause the video and work them out. You can even read along with her in your text - she is using the same book. YES!!
1. Always have a writing utensil and paper when watching videos.
2. Take notes on the video (remember you can pause and rewind).
3. Workout example problems in the video on your own (with the video paused) or workout example problems that are given to you by the teacher.
4. Write out any questions about the video that you would like to ask during class.
5. If there is a mathematical error in the video write down the time it takes place in the video and an explanation of the error.
Note: Create vocabulary list of math words that are specific to this lesson or new to you. Create index cards to help you become more familiar with these terms.

Subset
A set that is part of a larger set.
Proper Set A proper subset of a set, denoted, is a subset that is strictly
contained in and so necessarily excludes at least one member of. The empty set
is therefore a proper subset of any nonempty set.
Equal Sets Sets that have exactly the
same members. (Two words, plural)
Improper Subset A subset that includes the entire parent set; see proper subset.
Empty Set In mathematics, and more specifically
set theory, the empty set is the unique set having no elements; its size
or cardinality (count of elements in a set) is. Some axiomatic set theories
assure that the empty set exists by including an axiom of empty set; in other
theories, its existence can be deduced. Many possible properties of sets are
trivially true for the empty set.
Null Set A set that is empty; a set with no
members.
Real Number Any rational or irrational
number.
Infinite Set In set theory, an infinite
set is a set that is not a finite set. Infinite sets may be countable or
uncountable.
Natural
Numbers The number 1 and any other number obtained
by adding 1 to it repeatedly.
Whole Numbers A number without fractions; an integer.
Integers 1.
A whole number; a number that is not a fraction. 2. A thing complete in itself.
Rational
Numbers An integer or a fraction.
Irrational
Numbers A real number that cannot
be expressed as a rational number.
Mutually
Exclusive Contradictory: unable to be both true
at the same time.
