After years of piracy on the high seas, Captain Red Ickle has finally been
captured. Alone he waits in a cold dark cell; waiting for the trial that will
sentence him to life in the dungeon, or to his death. The excitement of his
capture and the anticipation of his judgement day have created quite a stir
among the citizens. You feel anxious to know the outcome, but feel unsure of
which you hope for. Piracy is unforgiveable, but you imagine yourself sailing
port to port on an endless adventure and feel a strange sense of sympathy.
You decide, against your better judgment, to sneak down to the holding cell
to meet the Captain. But what would a good person like you want to learn
from a thieving pirate?
You arrive at the prison shortly after sunset. A small bribe is all is takes to
get past the night guard and suddenly you are standing in front of the
Captain’s cell. He walks towards the bars to size you up. His mouth curls up
into a sly grin, as if he recognizes you.
“Aye Peter, ye’ve come fer me spoils, have ye?” He has obviously mistaken
you for someone else, but you feel that now is not the time to correct him.
You nod slowly.
“Yarr,it pains me to give it up after all these years, but I fear me ship be
approaching her final port. When ye find me treasure chest, don’t share the
booty with anybody.” Reaching into his boot, he draws a small roll of
parchment. You know at once what this is: a map.
The Captain says no more as he returns to the dark corner of his cell. You
leave feeling confused. Who is Peter? Where does this map lead? And what
is this treasure?
Destiny has spoken. You know what must be done. The following morning
you set out with nothing but two weeks rations and your map. You find a
merchant ship willing to take you to your destination. The captain of the
merchant ship lets out a deep chuckle as he tells you: “Foolish lad, if death is
what you seek, I’ll take you there – for a fee of course. But I warn you that no
one comes back from Skwaroot Island!”
As the merchant ship nears the island, you are forced to jump ship and swim
ashore. Walking up the beach, dripping wet, you wonder if this was such a
good idea. “No time for doubt now,” you tell yourself, “I’ve got a treasure to
find.”
Captain Red Ickle’s Booty
Part I
1. Looking more closely at the map, you notice that Captain Ickle has
designated a path along which you will find the key to his treasure chest.
You can see from his legend that you must pass by five landmarks, in the
order specified. A note at the bottom tells you the correct path should have
√ √ √
a distance of 12 10+6 5+5 2 (assume that you always walk directly
from one landmark to the next). Noticing the scale on the map, you see
√
that each square of the map’s grid has side length of 2 km. Along which
route will you find the key? Indicate your chosen path and show the work
supporting your choice.
2. Wherever there is a fork in the road, you will have at least two options. If
you always went right, how long would the path be to the treasure? If you
always went left, how long would the path be to the treasure? Which route
is longer and by how much? Show all your work and express your answer
in simplest form.
3. At long last, you have arrived at the treasure. Judging by the Sun, you
estimate the time spent searching to be 5 √5 hours. Given that the path
length was 12 √10+6 √5+5 √ 2 km, was your average walking speed?
total distance
average speed =
total time .
4. Along your way, you noticed a beautiful lake in the shape of a
parallelogram and were impressed by its size. Calculate the approximate
area of this lake. (Area = base x height).
Captain Red Ickle’s Booty
Part II
Think of a situation that would require you to hide something. Write a brief
explanation of at least one paragraph of why you’ve hidden this thing and
why it must now be found. Create a map to guide someone to your secret
hiding spot. Your map must include the following:
A title
A start point and a finish point
At least 3 different routes; each route must have at least 4
segments
A legend which indicates: a scale for the map in which each square
has an irrational side length, a desired path to the hiding spot, and a
clue related to the distance of the path
You will be asked to submit two copies of your map: an original map
and a solution map.
Questions about:
o Total distance along a route
o The difference between the distances of two routes
o The average speed of travel (given the time)

small groups the smallest and largest possible number for each of the above expressions
and answer the question: Is there a number that can be substituted into all three
expressions that would create a valid response?
The teacher can then show the graphs of each expression and have students identify
which graph is for which expression based on the domains and make sure that students
understand that the value of the radicand needs to be greater or equal to zero.
Lesson Goal
Review the concept of domain and range as discussed in 10C and 20-1 (quadratics).
Lesson
Teacher Note:
A file was created using GeoGebra to illustrate the transformation of radicals.
L5 BasicRadicalTransformations.ggb
file was added to the EPSB Understanding by Design share site
To use this file you will need to download GeoGebra. At the time this document was prepared the
program could be downloaded for free from: http://www.geogebra.org/cms/en/download.
From here we want students to have a good grasp that the domain of a radical expression
is the values of the variable that will make the radicand greater or equal to zero.
Exploration 2:
Solve the radicand to determine the domain without the graph.
Students can also look at the graphs for further verification and to discuss the domain
restrictions.
Exploration 3:
A square root has an index of 2. Have students investigate higher order indices with the
following:
3 3 4 5 6 7
√x √ x+3 √x √x √x √x
Have students graph these expressions and find their domains. The following questions
can be investigated.
1. Are there any restrictions on cube roots?
2. Are there any restrictions on 4th roots?
3. Are there any restrictions on 5th roots?
4. What rule in general relates to restrictions involving radicals of higher indices?
With a graphing calculator, students can graph these quickly and should see the pattern of
even and odd indices.

Exploration 1:
Reactivate prior learning of solving linear equations:
-3 = x + 2
x = -5
x2 + 4x - 5
0=
Use the last example to emphasize the need of verifying. It may also be helpful to remind
students that the square root of a number is always positive. There will be no solution for
√ x=−4 . Consider using this opportunity to remind students that x2 = 16 could have
x = -4 as a solution.
At this point you can also use the graphing calculator as a tool to show the solution is
where the lines intersect on the graph. If you used the graphs with domain and range,
students will already be familiar with the shape of a radical graph.
Exploration 3:
At this point students may have been able to work out a solution by guessing and
checking. We will investigate equations where guessing and checking is an inefficient way
to find the solution. It may be a good idea to make sure that all students have an
understanding of the process of squaring each side.
√ x−1=x−7
Exploration 4:
Move onto more complicated example(s):
At this point if students struggle you may want to have a class discussion about what
processes occur in every question:
Isolate radical. If there are two radicals, isolate one of them.
Square both sides. Remind students about the distributive property (ex.
( x+2 )2≠x 2 +2 2 ). Have students investigate this and see that they do not find the
solution if they do not square the whole side.
o You may need to review some basic equation solving rules or have students
come up with their own and put on chart paper.
If there were originally two radicals, there should now be only one. Isolate this
radical and square both sides.
Solve the resulting equation
Mathematics 20-1 Radical Expressions and Equations Page 51 of 58
Verify the solution in the ORIGINAL equation.
o Again, you could have students verify in the original and in an intermediate and
check the results by graphing and see which one is correct.
