Multiplication and Division (1) - Square Numbers (2) - Worksheet

The worksheet provides a hands-on approach to understanding square numbers within the context of multiplication and division. It is designed for children to visualise and calculate square numbers using arrays. The task begins with images showing squared numbers, prompting the children to complete sentences and identify the next three square numbers. These exercises not only enhance their understanding of square numbers but also encourage them to demonstrate their learning by filling in the blanks with appropriate values, such as "This array shows 3 x 3 = 9, 9 is a square number, 3 squared = 9."

Further into the worksheet, children are tasked with sorting statements into true or false categories, a process that requires them to prove each statement. This critical thinking exercise is aimed at reinforcing their knowledge of square numbers and their properties. For example, they must determine the veracity of statements like "9 is a square number" or "14 is a square number," providing evidence for their conclusions. Additionally, the worksheet presents investigative challenges where students must find square numbers that add together to make another square number, or identify square numbers that are also palindromes. These problems are designed to deepen the students' understanding and application of square numbers in various mathematical contexts.
