Moving right along we are starting irrational numbers. Please take the time to watch the following videos before class:

Approximating Square Roots
These are a new concept and will be somewhat tricky. I gave a Perfect Squares handout that you will put in your comp book/spiral to keep handy! I suggest you memorize the first 25 squares (HINT! HINT!).
Homework tonight is to complete the Glencoe Square Roots Practice problems. There are 24 questions and you will need to use your notes from your comp book!
