a. Squares
How do we know a number is a SQUARE NUMBER or a PERFECT SQUARE?
a) Previously, we found out that if your diagram (on graph paper), or square tiles form a
__________________ (shape), then you have a SQUARE NUMBER/PERFECT SQUARE.
b) Above, we found out that if a number as an ___________ number of factors, it is a SQUARE
NUMBER/PERFECT SQUARE.
c) Now, if we find a division equation in which the ________________________ is equal to the
__________________________, then the _____________________ is a SQUARE NUMBER/PERFECT
SQUARE.
25 ÷ 5 = 5
e.g.
; then 25 is a square number/perfect square.

If a square has an area of 25 squared units, then its side length is _____________, which is also known as the
