Square Numbers and Area Models Concept 7 -‐ a Square Number is a “Perfect Square” -‐
when you multiply a number by itself, you square the number. Application: When a “Carpet Installer” (or a “Roofer”) calculates how much material he will need to complete a room, he calculates the amount of Square units (either feet or metres) Square Number Product Form Exponent Form 16 4 x 4 42 49 7 x 7 72 The Perfect Square from 1 to 100 are: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, and 100 We say: Four squared is sixteen “20” is Not a perfect square because you cannot create a square with and area of 20 square units using tiles.

Concept 8 -‐ Squaring and taking the Square Root are “Inverse Operations” (They are Opposites Operations) -‐ The Area is the “Square Number” -‐ The Side Length of the square is the square root of the area.
