Understanding Square Numbers & Roots

The document explains square numbers, defined as perfect squares that result from multiplying whole numbers by themselves. It provides examples of square numbers up to 15 and includes activities for identifying perfect squares and calculating square roots. Additionally, it discusses estimating square roots for non-perfect squares and different versions of square roots, including negative and fractional roots.

Square Roots
Square Number
Also called a “perfect square”
 A number that is the square
of a whole number
 Can be represented by
arranging objects in a square.

numbers as perfect squares
or not.
i. 16
ii. 15
iii. 146
iv. 300
v. 324
vi. 729
Activity:
Identify the following
numbers as perfect squares
or not.
i. 16 = 4 x 4
ii. 15
iii. 146
iv. 300
v. 324 = 18 x 18
vi. 729 = 27 x 27
Square Numbers
 When you do 4 x 4, you get
16.

4  The number 4 is called the


square root of 16, because
that is what is multiplied
4 16
twice to get 16.

 We write: 16 = 4
Perfect Square
Root
 A number which, when
multiplied by itself, results
in another number.

 Ex: 5 is the square root of


25.

25 = 5

Estimating
Non-Perfect Square
Roots
 To calculate the square root
of a non-perfect square

1. See what numbers multiply


to give you the number inside
of the square root symbol.

2. Take the square root of any


of those numbers (if possible).
Estimating
Square Roots

27 = ?
Since 27 is not a perfect square, we
have to use another method to
calculate it’s square root.
Estimating
Non-Perfect Square
Roots
Not all numbers are perfect
squares.
 Not every number has an
Integer for a square root.
We have to estimate square
roots for numbers between
perfect squares.
Estimating
Non-Perfect Square
Example: Roots
27
 What two numbers multiply to give you
27?
Estimate: 27 = 3x9
 Since you can take the square root of 9, remove that from the inside

 Positive/Negative  Impossible Roots

+ 36 -16
*take the square root of the
number and keep the
positive/negative sign Since there is no number times
attached itself equal to -16, there is
NO REAL SQUARE ROOT
