By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
- understand the concept of surds and their significance in mathematics;
- simplify surds;
- apply surds in algebraic manipulations and geometric calculations.
Curriculum Alignment: Key Stage 4: Number
- calculate exactly with fractions, {surds} and multiples of π {simplify surd expressions involving squares [for example √12 = √(4 × 3) = √4 × √3 = 2√3] and rationalise denominators}
