Suppose  N is a natural number such that N=<math>m^2</math> . The number m is called square root of N
 +
we have <math>m^2</math>=mxm or <math>(m)^2</math>=-mx-m. Thus <math>m^2</math> has 2 square roots, m and -m. Example 9=<math>3^2</math> or <math>(-3)^2</math>.Thus both 3 and -3 are <math>\sqrt9</math>

*Estimated Time :
 +
40 minutes.
 +
*Materials/ Resources needed :Laptop, geogebra file, projector and a pointer.
 +
*Prerequisites/Instructions:
 +
# The students should know tables and multiplication .
 +
# They should know that the product obtained by multiplying the same number twice is called a perfect square number and the number itself is called its square root.
 +
# They should know a square , its side length and finding area of a square.
 +
*Multimedia resources : Laptop
 +
*Website interactives/ links/ simulations
 +
*Process:
 +
# Initially the teacher can discuss about a square, its sides and area of a square.
 +
# Tell the students that each small inner square measures 1 unit .
 +
# Formula to find area of square is side X side.
 +
# Each inner square's area is 1 sq unit.
 +
# Start with a outer big  square of side length 3, which gives an area of 9. Then after doing side lengths of 3-5,  put up a square and say the area is 64, so what must the side lengths be? The students will know it must be 8. Do this a few times and then introduce the new notation saying that the side length for the square with area 64 is the sqrt(64) = 8, and  that is along the side of the square. Similarly repeat for area 144 and write it as square root of 144 =12 on the side length. Tell them that a square root is the inverse of squaring a number.
 +
# Introduce the symbols forsquare and square root.
 +
Extending  the analogy to the  area of a square and its side length helps students visualize the geometric meanings of square and square roots.
 +
[Note : Disadvantage of this activity: here we can consider only positive numbers as square roots. Hence in further classes the concept of square root should be extended to negative numbers as well.]
 +
*Developmental Questions:
 +
# What is the figure called ?
 +
# How do you know its a square ?
 +
# Why is the figure called a perfect square ?
 +
# What are the dimensions of each inner smaller square ?
 +
# What is the area of each small inner square ?
 +
# What is the area of two such small squares ?
 +
# What is the area of 9 such small squares ?
 +
# If the small squares are of 1 unit dimension, and area of each such square is one sqcm, can  we say that the whole area is equal to the total number of smaller squares.
 +
# (The number of cells/small squares in each row) x (number of rows) gives us ________.
 +
# If the number of cells in each row and number of rows is same then we multiply the _________ number twice.
 +
# Conversely if area is known, then its ___________ can be found out.
 +
# For ex : If the area of a square is 81, then what would be its side length?
 +
 
 +
*Evaluation :
 +
# Did students make the connection between the area of a square and square numbers? How do you know?
 +
# What evidence helped you assess students' understanding of the geometric meaning of square root? 
 +
*Question Corner:
 +
# If you know the side length of a square, how can you determine its area?
