square roots!
Today’s Goals
❏ I can find a decimal
approximation for
square roots.
❏ I can plot square
roots on the number
Diagonals
Warm Up
● Think Pair Share
1. What is the
exact length of
the line
segment?
2. Find a decimal
approximation
of the length.
Squaring Lines
Activity 1
● MLR8: Discussion Supports
● Anticipate, Monitor, Select, Sequence, Connect
As you work to find
the exact length in
this task, remember
that exact is not an
approximation.
If a number is not
√17
rational, write it with
square root notation.
How is this diagram similar and different from the
warm-up?

Please begin
working on
your own. (2-3
min)
1. Estimate the
length of the
line segment to
the nearest
tenth of a unit.
2. Find the exact
length of the
segment.

Activity 2
● Think Pair Share
● MLR1: Stronger and Clearer Each Time
What is the
same and what
is different
about this
diagram and
diagrams we’ve
seen in earlier
activities?

Begin working on
your own. (2-3 min)
Share your thinking
with your team.
Explain why 2.5
is not a very
good
approximation
for √3.

What is a
good
approximati
on?
Are you ready for more?
How can you
approximate the value
of √130?
11 = 121
2

12 = 144
2
So we know √130 is somewhere
between 11 and 12.
Can we get more accurate than that?
How?
We could try squaring
numbers from 11 to 12, like
11.1, 11.2, etc., to find the
one closest to 130.
Today’s Goals
