One of the trickiest transitions for many algebra students is moving from radicals to rational exponents. At first glance, these concepts seem completely different. One involves roots, and the other involves fractions in exponents. However, once students grasp how they are connected, their understanding of exponents and radicals becomes much more intuitive. Building the Bridge Between Radicals and Rational Exponents Many students are comfortable simplifying square roots, such as: The square root of 16 equal 4. But when they see something like: 16 to the one-half. They often freeze. This is where we need to explicitly make the connection: 16 to the one-half equals the square root of 16 which equals 4.
