21.2 Squares and Square Roots SQUARES AND SQUARE ROOTS In this lesson, students link the geometric concepts of side length and area of a square to the algebra concepts of squares and square roots of numbers. They create a table of perfect squares. They use the table to find square roots of perfect squares, and they approximate the square root of a whole number. This lesson is the first of a lesson cluster where students develop and practice rules for exponents. In future lessons, students will use the definition of exponents and inductive reasoning to make conjectures about rules for exponents. Then the rules for exponents will be formalized, and students will simplify expressions that include exponents and roots. Math Goals • Understand geometrically and numerically the connection between squaring a number and finding the square root of a number. (Standards for (ALG 2.0) posting in bold) • Approximate a square root by locating it between two consecutive integers. (Gr7 NS2.4; Gr7 MR2.7) • Use fractions and decimals to approximate square roots. (Gr7 NS1.2; Gr7 NS1.3; Gr7 MR2.1; Gr7 MR2.7) Summative Future Week Assessment • Week 25: Exponents and Roots (Gr7 NS1.2; Gr7 NS2.4) Unit 6: Conjecture and Justification (Teacher Pages) Week 21 – TP11 21.2 Squares and Square Roots PLANNING INFORMATION Estimated Time: 45 – 60 Minutes Student Pages Materials Reproducibles * SP10: Ready, Set, Go Calculators (optional) * SP11: Table of Squares * SP12-13: Estimating Square Roots SP14: More Square Root Estimat
