The CAT AND MOUSE game to practice
'Identify square numbers' for 4th grade

Identifying square numbers

Identifying square numbers involves recognizing numbers that are the result of multiplying a whole number by itself which is called squaring a number. Mathematically, it can be represented as n², where n is an integer.

To identify square numbers, you can follow these steps:

  1. Start with a given number.
  2. Take the square root of the number. The square root of a number is the value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. For example, the square root of 25 is 5 because 5 x 5 = 25.
  3. Check if the square root is an integer. If the square root is an integer, then the given number is a square number. If not, it is not a square number.
  4. If the square root is an integer, you have identified a square number.

Here's an example: consider the number 36.

  1. Take the square root of 36. The square root of 36 is 6 because 6 x 6 = 36.
  2. Since the square root is an integer, we can conclude that 36 is a square number.

The first 10 square numbers are:

  • 1² = 1
  • 2² = 4
  • 3² = 9
  • 4² = 16
  • 5² = 25
  • 6² = 36
  • 7² = 49
  • 8² = 64
  • 9² = 81
  • 10² = 100, and so on

You can continue this process to identify other square numbers by taking the square root of different numbers and checking if the result is an integer.

In this topic you are asked to recognize or calculate square numbers up to 144.

With our Cat and mouse math game you will be practicing the topic "Identify square numbers" from 4th grade / Multiplication / Number facts. The math in this game consists of 12 questions that ask you to identify the square number in each of these lists of numbers.

Move the cat to catch the white mice, hit the blue balloons, but avoid the red ones

Large thumbnail for math game Cat and mouse

Cat versus mouse game with added balloons for math and fun. You are the ginger cat, and your life is being made a misery by some white mice which have come into the house and are proving hard to catch. Not to mention there is a mouse house party going on and lots of balloons getting in the way of your hunting.

So you have to catch the white mice, forget about the gray mice, hit the blue balloons but avoid the red balloons, and answer math questions (you are a CLEVER cat...). If it sounds complicated and a bit frantic, that's because it is. Do your best but don't worry if you can't catch all the mice - neither can we. It's a cat's life...

'Identify square numbers' for 4th grade

Free Math Games screenshot of the CAT AND MOUSE game for elementary

CAT AND MOUSE is a quirky take on the perennial enmity of ponderous predator and plucky prey. Here are the basics:

  1. Press "PLAY" on the CAT AND MOUSE settings page to open the game.
  2. You are a ginger cat overwhelmed by a serious mouse problem.
  3. Luckily your job is only to catch the white mice, not all the mice.
  4. Trouble is, they are not easy to catch and will try to avoid you.
  5. Use the arrow keys or tap the screen in the direction you want the cat to go.
  6. You will need fast reaction times to catch those white mice, and the balloons keep getting in the way.
  7. Mouse scores are 25 points for each white mouse caught, minus 5 points for each white mouse that escapes.
  8. When you do catch a white mouse, a math question will appear.
  9. Answer the math question correctly for those extra points...
  10. You get 50 points for each correct answer, but you lose 25 points for each wrong answer.
  11. Hitting blue balloons gives you extra points, but 3 hits on a balloon will burst it for that level.
  12. Hitting red balloons takes away points.
  13. Balloon scores are +5 or +10 points for blue balloons, -5 or -10 points for red balloons.
  14. This is a timed game and your final score is calculated by taking away your time in seconds from the points you have earned.
  15. If you get one of the 10 best scores you can add your name to the leaderboard for your chosen topic.
