by thechelsuk
£3.99
A 26-page printable workbook on square numbers, cube numbers and their roots, from Year 5 into secondary school, with Buddy the robot from the Mltply app.
What’s inside
Square numbers (Year 5): dot pictures that show why they’re “square”, patterns to spot, area problems and a hundred square to colour.
Square roots (Key Stage 3): working backwards, and estimating roots that aren’t whole numbers, like √50.
Cube numbers (Year 5): building cubes from blocks, volume problems, and why 4³ and 8² are both 64.
Cube roots (Key Stage 3): including a last-digit trick that cracks every cube root up to 1000.
True-or-false checks that tackle the classic mistakes, like thinking 5² = 10 or √16 = 8.
Two mixed reviews, four quick-fire tests and a puzzles page, plus a reference sheet and a certificate.
Answers for everything, numbered to match the questions.
Where it fits
England’s national curriculum introduces square and cube numbers, with the ² and ³ notation, in Year 5. Roots follow at Key Stage 3. Each page is labelled so you know which is which. It’s a natural next step once the times tables are secure.
For parents, teachers and tutors
Mostly black and white inside, so it prints and photocopies cheaply. Teachers and tutors may photocopy it for their own class or tutoring group.
