This math topic focuses on approximating the squares of numbers close to perfect squares. It involves calculating and estimating the squares of non-integer numbers slightly less or greater than whole numbers, demonstrating an advanced understanding of squares and square roots. Each problem presents a base perfect square and asks for the approximate square of a number near this base, accompanied by multiple choice answers. This helps in developing skills to estimate results mathematically without exact calculations, useful in various real-world applications and higher mathematics.
