TEACHING AND LEARNING NOTE/REMARKS ACTIVITIES Recall of Teacher guides students to recall a a = a 2 prior back the concept of squaring a a2 = a knowledge number and also the steps involved and to find the square root of a introduction number. to estimation of square root Teacher gives students a list of numbers with their corresponding squares and asks students to make a brief summary on the slide. Expected answer: The inverse operation for squaring a number is to find the square root of the number Teacher shows students a square photo of Leonardo da Vinci. The area of the photo is given, namely 64 cm. Teacher asks students to find the length of each side of the square photo. Expected answer: 8 cm. Starting with perfect squares, teacher then proceeds to numbers or integers that are not perfect squares.

CONTENT

Teacher then shows students another square photo with an area of 65 cm and asks them to estimate the dimension of the photo. Since 65 64 , students can use estimation to estimate the dimension of the square photo. Step 1 ( 10 minutes) Estimate the Based on the square photo used in Emphasize square root of the induction set, teacher discusses reasonableness a number with students the 2 ways used to answers. estimate the square root of a number. Teacher then guides students through another example, namely to estimate 168 . Step 2 ( 15 minutes) Posing and solving problems involving squares and square roots Teacher shows students 3 squares Questions that can of different dimensions. be asked: area, perimeter, sum, Based on the 3 squares given, difference. teacher guides students to come up with the questions that can be posed. Teacher guides students to solve the problems posed. Teacher discusses another 2 questions involving the use of squares and square roots. Introduction Using a unit cube, teacher guides to cubes of students to find the volume of the numbers cube and relates the volume to the cubes of numbers. Questions involving daily life examples and applications. Three ways to read 43 : (i) 4 to the power of 3 (ii) 4 cubed Teacher shows students different (iii) The cube of 4 versions or types of Rubiks cubes and guides them to compute the volume of the cubes. Teacher introduces students the definition of cubing a number. Step 4 Computing Teacher guides students to work Using prior 3 the of

Step 5 ( 7 minutes)

Computing Using the same questions in step 4, cubes of teacher guides students to evaluate numbers the cubes of the numbers using using calculators. calculators Evaluation in Students are divided into 5 groups. the form of Each group is given a packet of game and puzzles (9 pieces). group activity By answering each of the 9 questions correctly, students will be given a piece of double tape to stick their puzzle onto a piece of paper. The final picture that appears on the 3 x 3 puzzle is Al-Khwarizmi, a Persian (Arab) mathematician, who is also known as the Prince of Algebra.

Discuss the cube of a negative number is also a negative number. Promotes collaboration among students and mathematical communication Appreciate contribution mathematician the of
