How to Calculate Square Roots

Root for your pupils to learn about roots. Young mathematicians first review the meaning of squares and square roots. They then use this knowledge to simplify square roots of monomials with variables.

Sal works through several problems involving rational and irrational numbers, and shows how to find the difference. This video is a good stepping stone for those who are preparing to take on more challenging algebra work.

Introducing square roots into the quadratic equation mix, Sal takes care to address the ways viewers might go about solving the problems, both correctly and incorrectly. The video is an integral step in not only Sal's algebra series, but...

If square roots are the root of one's math anxieties, then here's the perfect resource. Viewers of a short instructional video see how to evaluate square roots. They first consider the square roots of perfect squares before learning how...

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...
