Square Root - Using Square Numbers
Students will investigate square numbers and connect them to their square root.
Learning goals
- We are learning to identify and describe properties of prime, composite, square and triangular numbers.
- We are learning to identify and describe the properties of prime, composite and square numbers and use these properties to solve problems.

Differentiation
Modifications
We've provided a simpler version of the game at the back, which allows you to easily assess whether or not your students understand the concept of square numbers and how to find the square root.
Extensions
The game boards at the front of the game are the most suitable for extension.
