Description
There were 6 members of the math club, one of them has mysteriously gone missing. It is your job to discover who went missing, where were they last seen, and what caused they to go missing. Are you up for it? Can you find the missing math club member?
This clue style activity is meant to help students practice rationalizing denominators. There are 10 total problems. Print out the clues and tape them up around your room. Then have students go around and solve the problems. After they have solved the problems they will discover who is missing, where they were last seen, and what happened to them. This activity could also be adapted to be completed online. Post the slideshow to you Google Classroom and have the students go through them.

CCSSHSN-RN.A.1
Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 5 to the 1/3 power to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5 to the 1/3 power)³ = 5 to the (1/3)(3) power to hold, so (5 to the 1/3 power)³ must equal 5.
CCSSHSN-RN.A.2
Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
CCSSHSN-RN.B.3
Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
