If we know our perfect squares and where they fall on a number line, then how do we estimate our non-perfect squares? Can we
estimate where these numbers fall on a number line?

If all perfect squares are RATIONAL …then what are non-perfect squares?
These are all rational numbers and can be found easily on a number line

What about Non-perfect squares?
ALL Non-perfect squares
are irrational

Estimating
Generally speaking, students have a difficult time estimating…students do not have a fully developed number sense and really don’t get estimating…
The goal of estimating is to get a number that it is close to….we are not looking for an exact number here…the exact number is not important…
![Page 28: Estimating Irrational Numbers If we know our perfect squares and where they fall on a number line, then how do we estimate our non-perfect squares? Can](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1afc7f8b9ab05998448e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Estimating using a number line
In the notes section of your notebook draw a number line.
Plot the perfect squares from 1 through 12 on the number line
When estimating the goal is to find out which whole number the perfect square is close to…
That will be your estimate… Let’s see what it looks like…
![Page 29: Estimating Irrational Numbers If we know our perfect squares and where they fall on a number line, then how do we estimate our non-perfect squares? Can](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/5a4d1afc7f8b9ab05998448e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Number Line Your number line should look like this… To find the square root of a number find where it fits on a number line Then determine the two numbers it fits between Determine which number it is closest to and look at the perfect square
for that number
1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 121 144 169 196 225
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15Perfect Squares

The estimate of would be 9
Example
75
Find the

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15Perfect Squares
The square root of 75 is between the square root of 64 and 81Since 75 is closer to 81 than 64 the nearest whole number would be 9
