4.  Simplifying Radicals Boom Cards
Boom Cards are one of my favorite things!  In this activity, students practice simplifying radicals using the imaginary number i.  They're shown one question at a time and LOVE getting instant feedback as they practice simplifying square roots of negative numbers.
