🔄 Reteach it (missed two or more)

Keep the perfect-squares chart visible. Test the largest perfect square first, then work down until one divides evenly.

For rational exponents, use "root first, then power": for 8^(2/3), take the cube root (2), then square it (4).

√(ab) = ?
Answer: √a · √b.
x^(1/3) = ?
