3. RESOURCES:
Textbooks, DBE Workbook 1, Sasol-Inzalo Book 1
4. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
squares, square roots, cubes, cube roots rational numbers
5. REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF HOMEWORK (suggested time: 10 minutes)
Homework provides an opportunity for teachers to track learners' progress in the mastery of mathematics concepts and to identify the problematic areas which require immediate attention. Therefore it is recommended that you place more focus on addressing errors from learner responses that may later become misconceptions.
6. INTRODUCTION (Suggested time: 10 Minutes)
Do mental Maths on squares, square roots, cubes and cube roots For Activity 2, revise identification and definition of rational numbers For Activity 3, revise multiplication and division of rational numbers
Activity 1 Simplify the following: a. 9 ? 9 = b. 72 = c. 53 =
d. 144 = e. 364 = f. (0,5)2 =
Activity 2
State whether each number below is rational or not, if not justify your answer

7. LESSON PRESENTATION/DEVELOPMENT (Suggested time: 20 minutes)
Teaching activities
Learning activities Learners are expected to:
an investigative approach is recommended.
give activities on calculating squares and square roots, cubes and cube roots of rational numbers
engage learners as this is an interactive lesson.
do examples as individuals or in pairs
Examples of calculating squares of rational numbers
compare answers and solutions

Misconceptions with squares, square roots, cubes, cube roots of rational numbers
b) The primary purpose of Homework is to give each learner an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of mathematics skills taught in class. Therefore Homework should be purposeful and the principle of `Less is more' is recommended, i.e. give learners few high quality activities that address variety of skills than many activities that do not enhance learners' conceptual understanding. Carefully select appropriate activities from the Sasol-Inzalo Books, DBE workbooks and/or textbooks for learners' homework. The selected activities should address different cognitive levels.
