As my College Algebra class prepares for the Complex Number section that will lead to being able to solve just about any quadratic equation, here's a link to a worksheet on simplifying radicals. We will do a few of the first problems together in class. Answers are given, too!
Free Radical Practice from Kuta Software
Tip: It may help to review prime factorization. See the Pencast on this on the right side of this webpage for a tutorial. You can even make up your own numbers like 220, 175, 330 then check your factors at www.WolframAlpha.com. I went to WolframAlpha and entered "Factor(220)". Click here to see what it did for me! I also show how to have WolframAlpha simplify the square root of 220 here.
There's also a Radicals pencast to the right of this webpage.
Where did the "Math Is Tough" blog go? You're in the right place! This is the new and improved math help blog with a little inspiration from Albert Einstein. Dedicated to math students everywhere, I hope you find it helpful. And remember: we don't judge here. Just here to help. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please comment below or email me.

Home School Math Worksheet Generator -- FREE!
When I'm in a pinch and want to make my students some quick worksheets with answers, I go to Home School Math. My end-of-year Intermediate Algebra and beginning-of-semester College Algebra students may want to practice some radical simplifying here. Make your own worksheet! It's a little intimidating to create at first, but take your time and you'll figure it out.
