Perfect Squares
Square Number
Also called a “perfect square”
A number that is the square of a
whole number
Can be represented by
arranging objects in a square.

One property of a perfect
square is that it can be
represented by a square
4cm array.
Each small square in the array
4cm 16 cm2 shown has a side length of
1cm.
The large square has a side
length of 4 cm.
Square Numbers
The large square has an area
of 4cm x 4cm = 16 cm2.
4cm
We write: 4 = 16
Square Root
A number which, when
multiplied by itself, results in
another number.
5 = 25
You need to remember:
25 = ?

27 = ?
Since 27 is not a perfect square, we
have to use another method to
calculate it’s square root.

Not all numbers are perfect
squares.
Not every number has an Integer
for a square root.
We have to estimate square roots
for numbers between perfect
squares.
