Squares Approximating Between Perfect Squares

This math topic focuses on finding the closest perfect squares above and below a given number. It aids in developing estimation skills related to squaring numbers and understanding the range within which square roots lie. Each question provides a decimal number, requiring learners to approximate its square and identify the perfect squares that enclose this value. This set of problems is part of a foundational unit on Pythagorean concepts, preparing students for more complex mathematical operations involving powers and roots.
