This math topic focuses on approximating square roots to the nearest integers. Students are tasked with identifying two integers between which the square root of a given number falls. Each question presents a different number for which learners find two consecutive integers that bracket its square root. This skill is essential for understanding and estimating non-perfect squares, reinforcing foundational concepts in algebra and number sense. The topic forms part of a broader unit on the fundamentals of Pythagorean theorem, enhancing students' ability to handle square roots in various mathematical contexts.
