Mr. Malcolm has enough 1 x 1 carpet tiles left over from a building project to cover an area of 55 square feet. He has offered to donate the tiles to a neighborhood preschool. The preschool wants to carpet a square play area with the tiles. What is the largest square they can make? On the top of a sheet of paper, write Square Roots 8/28 Skip three spaces down and write 1 x 1 (remember to show 1 squared) Then put together a model showing a 1 x 1 square This is what you should have:

The preschool wants to carpet a square play area with the tiles. What is the largest square they can make? 1 x 1 How could you find the area of the square model you have produced? Somewhere on the top of your paper, write down the formula to find the area of the square. L W Now, using this formula, calculate the area of the model you produced. = 1 square foot Area = L X W

Mr. Malcolm has enough 1 x 1 carpet tiles left over from a building project to cover an area of 55 square feet. He has offered to donate the tiles to a neighborhood preschool. The preschool wants to carpet a square play area with the tiles. What is the largest square they can make? Find the area of this square model and record it on your notes. Now, write 3 x 3 and model it. = 9 square feet L W Continue this process until you find the largest square area that you could make with the 55 square tiles that Mr. Malcolm donated.

Your notes should look something like this: Square Roots8/28/09 Area = L X W 1 x 1 = 1 square foot 2 x 2 = 4 square feet 3 x 3 = 9 square feet 4 x 4 = 16 square feet 5 x 5 = 25 square feet 6 x 6 = 36 square feet 7 x 7 = 49 square feet 8 x 8 = 64 square feet
