T4W1 Maths Activity.

IALT: Use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating on whole numbers.

Squaring.

This week my Maths group worked on squaring with different numbers. At first, I didn't quite get what squaring was about. I've heard it before, but haven't worked with it. Luckily, our group was with our teacher who helped us learn more and understand it . Every time we have a lesson with her , she asks everyone in our group about what we already know. After about 10 minutes with her we split and worked by ourselves with some questions.

Here they are:

1. √96

9.79

2.√54

7.34

3.√181

13.4

4.√48

6.92

5.√132

11.4

6.√142

11.9

7.√90

9.4

8.√112

10.5

9.√80

8.9

10.√169

8.88

11.√79

13.3

12.√179

13.2

13.√175

11.7

14.√138

13

I didn't really need time to really think about these questions because I already knew how to answer them. Something challenging I found was when I first learnt about squaring numbers, and other ways to say it.

Feel free to leave a comment.

Many thanks :)
