Finally got to use these today with my Year 9 class. Surds are a fascinating topic, in that the process of ‘Reflect, Expect, Check’ does not yield as high a success rate in terms of expectation – for a novice learner, this is challenging, as they do not follow patterns in the way they might be used to. Super pleased with how these turned out, though – allowed for lots of excellent discussion.
