Today, Mr. Backe' told us some things about square roots.
We started the class learning some things about the squares we made for our previous classes (see the previous scribeposts.).
Here are a few things that we did:
To find the area(the amount of space inside) of a square, we need to find out the length and width and multiply them. Because the sides of a square are all equal, we only need to find one side and multiply it by itself to find the area.
Example:
We also learned that not all squares are perfect squares. Only squares with whole numbers as their sides are perfect squares.
We then learned about square roots. A square root is a number that can equal a given number by multiplying itself by itself.
Example:
Square root of 9 is 3
3²= 9
You can find a square root on a calculator by pressing the √ button and the number you want to find the square root of.
Our homework is to find the square roots of all numbers from 5 to 9.
I hope you guys liked my scribepost! Please leave a comment.

Awesome Post Jomari! You had explained everything we had done in class very well! The part I liked the most was the Square Root! Because I didn't really hear what square root stands for until I looked up your scribe. Now I do understand what it means. Again Awesome Job!
ReplyDeletewell done! you explained what a square root is and how to get the area of a square well..and the example you made really helps alot..
ReplyDeleteGOOD JOB
Good job Jo ! you explained what a square root is really well and how to get the area of a square really well . Also your examples made it easier to understand .
ReplyDeletenice job jo, i understood how to get area of a square and what a square root is by your nice post *pat on the head*
ReplyDeletegood job on explaining what we did in class and showing how we didit.well done!
