Arithmetic and Square Roots - Week 1

Familiarize young mathematicians with the radical concept of square roots using this set of skills practice problems. Building on prior knowledge about combining like terms in algebraic expressions, this worksheet helps students learn...

There are many ways to approach finding the rational approximation of an unknown square root. Here is a problem that will help math learners make a connection between square roots and their order on a number line. As usual, determine two...

Middle and high schoolers investigate all the different places in math that square root is present. In this geometry instructional activity, pupils discuss square roots as it relates to a right triangle and construction. They go over...

Pupils learn to solve square root equations and rationalize denominators. Problems include those with extraneous solutions. 

This lesson has a number of fun worksheets for a pre-algebra or beginning algebra class. The main emphasis of this lesson is functions, formulas, and looking at square roots. It is the third lesson in a series on solving for unknowns,...

Think outside the box and use an engaging, interactive app that shows the relationship between square roots and squares using an actual square. Pupils find that moving a slider increases the side length of a square and its associated area.

Try out a resource using triangles to estimate radicals. An interactive app allows learners to approximate some irrational numbers involving square roots. They find the two consecutive numbers that an irrational number lies between by...

Get two answers from a single equation. Pupils use the interactive to take the square root of nine and see the graphical representation of the two solutions. Individuals realize that solutions to quadratic equations that are solved by...

Before defining the quotient property of square roots, the teacher in this video works through an example that shows how the property is possible. She then goes through a couple more examples of the property in action. Show this resource...

Discuss the definition for a simplified form for a square root. Middle schoolers analyze different forms of a square root, the Product Property of Square Roots, and complete a worksheet.
