If I wanted to estimate 59−−√ , the first step would be to find the two ______
squares that 59 lies_____ on the number line. The closest perfect square less than 59 is________. The closest perfect square greater than 59 is _______. I could then think about the number 59 and how close it is to the smaller perfect square and the larger perfect square. I could then take the ________ root of the perfect squares to see how I would estimate 59−−√ . The 59−−√ is closest to______
If you wanted to estimate √59, the first step would be to find the two perfect squares that 59 lies between on the number line. The closest perfect square less than 59 is 49. The closest perfect square greater than 59 is 64. You could then think about the number 59 and how close it is to the smaller perfect square and the larger perfect square. I could then take the square root of the perfect squares to see how I would estimate √59. The √59 is closest to √64, which is 8.
