Escape Velocity

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...

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,...

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...

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.

You have been given a square root and need to compare that to a decimal number to find out which one is bigger. How can you make that comparison? One way to do this is to find the square root of the square root number and then compare it...

Find the square root of a number that is not a perfect square, without using a calculator. In this video, the instructor will show how to estimate to get the approximate value of the square root of a number that is not a perfect square....

If your class has a grasp of square roots, but is having difficulty with the product property of square roots, this video might be for you! In the video, an instructor completes a short proof of the property, defines the property, and...

The instructor demonstrates how to find the square root of a fraction. She simply explains that you separate the numerator and denominator, meaning you find the square root of the numerator, and then you find the square root of the...

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...
