Continue working on more complex Surds operations and solving equations involving indices. 继续处理更复杂的无理数运算和涉及指数的方程求解。
Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议
Conceptual Review & Study Habits: 概念回顾与学习习惯：
-
Review all derivations and proofs from the previous lesson, especially the basis for $a^0=1$, before starting new work. 在新工作开始前，复习上一课的所有推导和证明，特别是 $a^0=1$ 的基础。
-
Spend dedicated time memorizing or internalizing common square numbers up to $20^2$ and powers of 2 up to $2^{10}$ for speed. 投入专门时间记忆或内化高达 $20^2$ 的常见平方数和高达 $2^{10}$ 的2的幂次，以提高速度。
Procedural Accuracy: 程序准确性：
-
When simplifying surds, ensure all terms are reduced to the lowest common radical form before attempting to combine them (as seen in the $\sqrt{294}$ error). 化简无理数时，确保所有项都被化简到最低公有根式形式，然后再尝试合并它们（如 $\sqrt{294}$ 错误所示）。
-
Practice rationalizing denominators where the numerator is also a radical expression (like question C), focusing on accurate expansion of the numerator. 练习对分子也是根式表达式（如C题）的分母进行有理化，重点关注分子展开的准确性。
Recommended Supplementary Learning Resources or Homework 推荐的补充学习资源或家庭作业

Complete the remaining practice problems assigned today (specifically those related to surds and rationalization). Submit work to the regular teacher for review. 完成今天布置的剩余练习题（特别是与无理数和有理化相关的部分）。将作业提交给常规老师进行批改。
