Square away any doubts about using a new resource. Pupils learn about squares and square roots in the mini-lesson. They complete a worksheet identifying roots of perfect squares up to 400.

Don't worry, this resource actually exists. Scholars learn about imaginary numbers and work on problems simplifying square roots of negative numbers. As an extension, they research the history of imaginary numbers.

Develop a definition of irrational numbers through an exploration of square roots. The 11th lesson in this series of 25 asks scholars to estimate the value of a square root. Learners observe as the estimation extends further and further...

Sorting fractions, integers, decimals and square roots into sequential order is an active process when you use a gym as your setting. After your class is divided into two groups and provided with number cards, they compete to see who can...

Students are introduced to a method for finding square roots used by the Babylonian people of Mesopotamia. The method involves dividing and averaging, over and over, to find a more accurate solution with each repeat of the process.

In this numbers 1.1 worksheet, students solve 64 problems about all kinds of numbers:  rational, irrational, prime, composite, square roots, fractions, decimals.

Scholars first learn to graph square root and cube root functions by creating a table of values. They then learn how to graph functions from transformation of the graphs of the parent square root and cube root functions.

In this algebra worksheet, students simplify 14 complex radical fractions. They find the square roots for both the denominator and numerator, dividing out any factors that are the same to completely simplify the fraction. For the final 7...

Build on your classes' understanding of irrational numbers by comparing their values. The 13th lesson in the 25-part module has individuals estimate values of both perfect and non-perfect roots. They finish by graphing these numbers on a...
