ELICIT:

Teaching Strategy: Brainstorming

Instructional Materials: None required

Anecdote 1: Share a story about how a famous Filipino scientist used radical
equations to solve a real-world problem.

Anecdote 2: Discuss how radical equations can be used to model the spread of
diseases in the Philippines.

ENGAGE:
Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing

Instructional Materials: Index cards with different radical expressions written on

them

1) Idea: Assign each student a radical expression and have them act out the
equation to guess the value of the radical.
