Simplifying Surds (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet provides lots of practice of simplifying surds.

Section A structures the process by providing tables to complete with hints on an intermediate step before finding the final simplified value.

Section B then provides more questions to tackle without the aid of this intermediate step.

Section C then again provides a large table to complete where learners will need to work forwards and backwards through the surd simplification process.
