Concept 1: Definition of surds

Irrational root of rational number. Example:'"UNIQ--postMath-00000001-QINU"'

Learning objectives

1. know the meaning of surds
2. recognising radicand and order of surds

Notes for teachers

If you can't simplify a number to remove a square root (or cube root etc) then it is a surd. If it is a root and irrational, it is a surd. But not all roots are surds.
