Activity – Relationship between the side length and the area of the square.
objective:
To investigate several squares with different side lengths and review the relationship between the side length and the area of the square.
Procedure:
Give students the following square pattern and ask them to study the pattern.
If this pattern were to continue, for any number of tiles on the side of a square, we should know what number of tiles is needed to build the entire area of the square.
Fill in the table below:
How many tiles would be on the side if there are 324 tiles in the area?
How many tiles would be on the side if there are 841 tiles in the area?
Based on what you learned, what is the relationship between the length of side of a square and itself area ?
If you know the area, how do you find the length of a side?
