This math topic covers comparing the values of perfect squares to integers. Students are required to identify the correct comparison symbol (less than, greater than, or equal to) between the square of a number and another given integer. For example, students assess expressions such as "9 squared compared to 83" or "16 squared compared to 258" to decide which comparison symbol fits the relationship properly. This requires computation of perfect squares and an understanding of numerical order, enhancing skills in basic algebra and number theory.
