Essential Understandings:

For example, have students simplify 3 343 . 3 343 would be entered in the calculator as 343 then press the button which would equal 7. Using an online scientific calculator, you might need to type 343^1/3 into the calculator or use the x y button (your y value will be 1/3 for a cube root) to get the same answer of 7 if the calculator does not have a cube root button. ................
