In this lesson students will be estimating square roots to determine which whole number the non perfect square is closest to - without a calculator. Your students will be completing a guided notes practice worksheet, 22 practice questions and be filling out a square root number line for their desks to use every time they work on this topic as a reference! Also included is a perfect squares poster for the first 12 perfect squares.
This lesson is awesome because your students can complete it independently or you can guide them through it. This lesson lends itself really well to conversations on estimating and what that means. If you've been wanting to make group norms around turn and talks, this activity would be a perfect way to introduce them to it!
