Interactive Activities for Learning Square Roots

Let’s consider various activities for Fun and Interesting ways to learn square roots

Square Root Matching Game

• Make cards with a perfect square on one side and the square root of that number on the opposite. (e.g. 4 on one side, 2 on the other). Then students will shuffle the cards and work in teams to put the different squares back together with their roots. You can play this as a memory game or a timed competition.

To Construct a Square Root Garden

• This is a great exercise to do outside or in a large classroom. Make squares on the ground or floor and write perfect squares inside of them. Students are to take a specified number of steps (which represents the square root) to land on a square while wearing blindfolds. They receive points if they land appropriately.

Square Root Treasure Hunt

• Leave clues with the words “perfect squares” scribbled on them throughout the school grounds or classroom. To identify the next clue, students must locate the clues, calculate the square root, and utilize the result. The hunt’s winner is the first person to finish!

Square roots are one of the important concepts in mathematical representations that can be used in various real-life applications that are evenly used in the inverse operation of square numbers, and can also be used for finding the size of a square’s side if you know its entire area. Therefore, Teaching square roots involves presenting the idea to the class, having them investigate its characteristics, and giving them practice and application chances.
