a - answer    s - solution    v - video    d - discussion

Question 1

a) Write a list of the first $5$ square numbersa s v d

b) Find $\left(\sqrt5\right)^2$a s v d

c) Which square numbers is $\left(\sqrt5\right)^2$ between?a s v d

d) Therefore which whole numbers is $\sqrt5$ between?a s v d

Question 2

a) Write a list of the first $10$ square numbersa s v d

b) Find $\left(\sqrt{52}\right)^2$a s v d

c) Which square numbers is $\left(\sqrt{52}\right)^2$ between?a s v d

d) Therefore which whole numbers is $\sqrt{52}$ between?a s v d
