8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Squares and cubes / Calculate square roots
To calculate the square root of a number, we need to find a number which when multiplied by itself gives the original number. The square root of a number is denoted by the symbol √.
For example: √9 = 3 because 3 x 3 = 9
To calculate the square root of a number using a calculator, we can simply enter the number and press the square root button (√). For example, to calculate the square root of 16, we can enter 16 and press the square root button to get the answer 4.
Sometimes we need to find the nearest integer to the square root of a number because the answer is not an integer. For example, the square root of 17 is approximately 4.12, so the nearest integer to the square root of 17 is 4. Here are some more examples:
Square root of 25 is √25 = 5
Square root of 121 is √121 = 11
√50 = ~7.07 which is 7 to the nearest integer
√150 = ~12.25 which is 12 to the nearest integer
√120 = ~10.95 which is 11 to the nearest integer
In this topic you are asked to calculate the square root or the nearest integer to the square root for numbers up to 300.
With our UXO math game you will be practicing the topic "Calculate square roots" from 8th grade / Number / Powers & Roots / Powers & Roots. The math in this game consists of 22 questions that ask you to calculate the square root or nearest integer to the square root for the given numbers.
UXO is a fun game to learn math where you attempt to knock over all the target objects while avoiding clicking / tapping on the bombs.
After each level, win an additional 50 points by correctly answering a math question from your selected topic. Wrong answers lose you 20 points but you can answer multiple times. Each level lasts 30 seconds: if you haven't cleared all the targets in that time, you lose 50 points. High scores can be added to the UXO leaderboards.
