This is a “Tarsia: Convince Me” activity on operations with surds including rationalising the denominator and simplifying.
Unlike standard Tarsia activities, here you only need to print out the solution (included on the PowerPoint), and students must:
1. Find (at least) 5 incorrectly matched up elements, convince you that each one is incorrect explaining the mistake that has been made, and then decide what the answer should have been
2. Replace the ? with the correct answer
3. Come up with a question to replace ?? that could give the answer. A selection of these questions can then be given to other students to use as a rich, challenging, pupil-created homework.
