Estimating square roots of
numbers
We need to know our perfect
squares….at least the majority of
them (those under 20)
Our perfect squares are

1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100,

121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289,
324, 361, 400
Estimating square roots of
numbers
There is a pattern to perfect squares

1 +3 64 +17
4 +5 81 +19
9 +7 100 +21
16 +9 121 +23
25 +11 144 +25
36 +13 169 +27
49 +15 etc
Estimating square roots of
numbers
Each square root is between two integers,
name the integers
√30
Think the square root of √25 is 5 and the
square root of √36 is 6
so the √30 is between 5 and 6
