To calculate the cube root of a number, we need to find a number which when multiplied by itself twice (i.e., raised to the power three) gives the original number. The cube root of a number is denoted by the symbol Β³β.
For example: 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 so Β³β27 = 3
To calculate the cube root of a number using a calculator, we can simply enter the number and press the cube root button (Β³β). For example, to calculate the cube root of 64, we can enter 64 and then press the cube root button to get the answer 4. We know the answer is correct because 4 x 4 x 4 = 64. Here are some more examples:
Cube root of 8: Β³β8 = 2
Cube root of 125: Β³β125 = 5
Cube root of 216: Β³β216 = 6
Cube root of 343: Β³β343 = 7
Cube root of 512: Β³β512 = 8
Cube root of 729: Β³β729 = 9
Cube root of 1000: Β³β1000 = 10
Most numbers do not have cube roots that are integers. Sometimes we need to find the nearest integer to the cube root of a number. For example, the cube root of 67 is approximately 4.06, so the nearest integer to the cube root of 67 is 4. Here are some more examples:
Β³β50 = ~3.68 which is 4 to the nearest integer
Β³β120 = ~4.93 which is 5 to the nearest integer
Β³β500 = ~7.94 which is 8 to the nearest integer
In this topic you are asked to calculate the cube root or the nearest integer to the cube root for numbers up to 1000. You will probably need a calculator when answering questions in this topic.
With our Four in a row math game you will be practicing the topic "Cube roots" from 8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Powers & Roots. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the cube root or nearest integer cube root of each of the given numbers.
The game will reinforce the math you have chosen to learn by getting you to match the question to the correct answer.
