1 Ohio Standards Connection: Number, Number Sense, and Operations Benchmark G Estimate, compute and solve problems involving real numbers, including ratio, proportion and percent, and explain solutions. Indicator 4 Demonstrate fluency in computations using real numbers. Benchmark I Estimate, compute and solve problems involving scientific notation, square roots and numbers with integer exponents. Indicator 5 Estimate the solutions for problem situations involving square and cube roots. Mathematical Processes Benchmarks A. Formulate a problem or mathematical model in response to a specific need or situation, determine information required to solve the problem, choose method for obtaining this information, and set limits for acceptable solution. Lesson Summary: In this lesson, students develop strategies to solve problems involving the estimation of square and cube roots. Students use lists of square and cube numbers, the Pythagorean Theorem and other mathematical tools to solve problem situations. Working with partners provides students an opportunity to share learning responsibility, use mathematical terms and solve problems in a variety of methods. Pre- and post-assessments support instruction by demonstrating evidence of prior knowledge and student learning. Estimated Duration: Two to three hours Commentary: Students use the Pythagorean Theorem, introduced in grade seven in the Academic Content Standards, to solve problems involving right triangles. In this lesson, students estimate (without calculators) the square root of numbers to solve problem situations. Students should already have experience with perfect squares and square roots. It is important for students to be able to estimate the whole number nearest to a given square root. Mathematics involves more than computing with numbers. It includes having a sense of what numbers and answers mean, the relationship of the answer to the context of the problem situation. Students must sense the reasonableness of the solution to the problem situation. Pre-Assessment: Pose the following problem to students: A new swimming pool has been proposed for the community park. The pool is square in shape and will cover an area of 400 square meters. What are the measurements of the sides of the proposed pool? Students discuss the problem with partners and determine the measurements. Provide grid paper and ask questions to determine which students need assistance. Observe students strategies and determine which students knew that 400 was a perfect square and used this to solve the problem. Do not use calculators to find the lengths for the sides of the pool. Discuss the problem and students strategies. After discussing the idea of perfect squares, direct students to write the squares for the numbers one to 20. After students complete the task, have them compare answers with partners or use a calculator. 1
2 Ohio Standards Connection: C. Recognize and use connections between equivalent representations and related mathematical concept; e.g., zero of a function and x- intercept of the graph of the function, apply proportional thinking when measuring, describing functions, and comparing probabilities. G Write clearly and coherently about mathematical thinking and ideas. Scoring Guidelines: Observe partner and small group discussions. Check strategies students use to find the lengths for the sides of the pool. Use the rubric below to assess student prior knowledge. Two Points Identifies lengths of side of pool using perfect square. Writes square numbers through 20 without calculator. One Point Identifies length of the pool, using calculator or with assistance. Writes square numbers through 12 without calculator. Zero Points Does not identify length of the pool with assistance. Writes zero to 10 square numbers. Post-Assessment: Part One assesses student ability to estimate square roots; Part Two assesses student ability to estimate cube roots. Part One Distribute Estimating Roots Post-Assessment, Attachment A. See answers on Attachment B. Scoring Guidelines: Three Points Locates Wes s house, the fairgrounds and Jackson Road, and determines the distances both ways (10 miles and about seven miles). Uses mathematical or everyday language and/or logical algebraic steps to display the correct method for solving the problem. Two Points Displays a logical method for solving the problem, but does not arrive at the correct solution due to errors in locating Wes s house, the fairgrounds or Jackson Road. Minor calculation errors. 2
3 One Point Displays an incorrect or incomplete method for solving the problem arriving at an incorrect solution. OR Arrives at the correct solution while displaying only a partial method or no method for solving the problem. Zero Points Displays no understanding of how to approach solving the problem. OR Does not attempt to solve the problem. Part Two Distribute Estimating Cube Roots Post-Assessment, Attachment C. See answers on Attachment D. Scoring Guidelines: Three Points Solves the problem correctly. Uses mathematical or everyday language and/or logical algebraic steps to display the correct method for solving the problem. Two Points Displays a logical method for solving the problem, but does not arrive at the correct solution due to calculation errors. One Point Displays an incorrect or incomplete method for solving the problem arriving at an incorrect solution. OR Arrives at the correct solution while displaying only a partial method or no method of solving the problem. Zero Points Displays no understanding of how to approach solving the problem. OR Does not attempt to solve the problem. Instructional Procedures: 1. Complete the pre-assessment activity. 2. Pose the following problem to students: The proposed swimming pool was too large for the space set aside in the park. A new swimming pool is being proposed. The pool will remain a square, but will only cover an area of 350 square meters. 3
4 The answer is about 18.7 meters. 3. Students discuss the problem and determine the approximate measurements for the sides of the pool. Students may refer to their list of perfect squares. Observe students as they estimate the length and record strategies or reasoning students used. 4. Discuss the problem with students. Ask several students to explain the strategies used for estimating the measurements of the sides for the pool. Students should notice that 350 is between 324 or 18 squared, and 361 or 19 squared. Students verify their answers using a calculator. Some students may state that the answer is closer to 19 because 350 is closer to 361. This may be the case for this situation, but it is not always true. 5. Provide exercises for student to practice estimating the square roots of numbers. Students supply the two whole numbers that the estimate falls between and reasoning for where to place the root between the two whole numbers (is it close to one of the whole numbers, halfway between them, etc.). Only students needing assistance should use calculators. Students show their reasoning in written or oral explanations. Facilitate a class discussion or assemble small groups to check estimations and strategies Present students the following scenario: Karma said that her grandmother s house was 12 miles from her home. She explained she drives five miles east on Route 224 and then turns north and drives seven miles on County Road 30. Do you agree with Karma that her grandmother s house is 12 miles from hers? 7. Divide students into pairs and distribute a sheet of grid paper to each pair. Direct the students to answer the question for the scenario. Observe strategies students use. Strategies may include using the Pythagorean Theorem, counting squares or other invented non-routine methods. Make note of student methods. Students should estimate between eight and nine miles, with a more accurate estimation of 8.5 to 8.7 miles. 8. As a class, discuss the methods used to solve the problem. Ask the class which methods may give the best estimate. Review the Pythagorean Theorem. Ask questions which clarify when an estimate is sufficient, such as: Is it important to know the exact distance or is an estimate sufficient for this problem? (An estimate is sufficient because the actual answer is not relatively close to the estimate.) When using the Pythagorean Theorem, do we get an estimate or an exact answer? (Exact answer) 9. Divide students into groups of four and number the groups. Distribute a piece of butcher paper, chart paper or bulletin board paper to each group. Have groups draw four triangles accurately on the papers, labeling the lengths of the sides (but not the hypotenuse) of each different triangle. Groups should assign letters A through D to the problems. 10. At various locations around the room, groups tape their papers to the wall. As groups rotate around the room, they estimate the lengths of the hypotenuses. Students record their estimated measurements in journals or notebooks. 11. After completing the problems, each group presents the estimates of the hypotenuse for their triangles. The class evaluates the reasonableness of the estimations. Develop consensus by asking questions to encourage students to use the Pythagorean Theorem and the squares of 4
5 numbers. Estimating Roots Grade Nine 12. Closure: Pose the following problem to students: Suppose a fire truck and rescue helicopter left a fire station at the same time and traveling at the same speed. They headed to a house located three blocks south and five blocks east of the station. Which one got there first? How do you know? Tell students to solve the problem and show their work. Allow time for students to share answers. 13. Assign Attachment E, Estimating Square Roots, for homework. Use the answer key on Attachment F, Estimating Square Roots Answer Key. Collect the paper and use it to informally assess student progress. Part Two 14. Present the following scenario to students: Devon was given the job of building shelves in the company s warehouse. The shelves are to hold boxes which are cubes that have a volume of 27 cubic feet. What is the minimum width he can make the shelf so the box fits completely on the shelf? 15. Have students discuss the problem with partners and determine the approximate measurements. Provide unit cubes and clarifying questions for students who need assistance. Observe students strategies and determine which students knew that 27 was a perfect cube and used this to solve the problem. The shelf needs to be at least three feet or 36 inches wide (accept one yard). 16. Discuss the problem and the strategies students used. After the idea of perfect cubes has been shared, direct students to write the cubes for the numbers one to 10. After students complete the task, they compare answers with partners or use calculators. 17. Pose the following situation: The Choco-Sweet Company used cubed-shaped containers to package their specialty treats. The original container was 125 cubic inches. In order to raise the company s profit, a new cubic container is being developed to hold 100 cubic inches of the specialty treats. What will the approximate dimensions of the new container be? 18. Have students discuss the problem and determine the approximate measurements for the sides of the new container. Students may refer to their list of perfect cubes. Observe students as they estimate the length and record strategies or reasoning students used. 19. Discuss the problem with students. Ask several students to explain their strategies for estimating the measurements of the sides for the new containers. Students should notice that 100 is in between the 64 (4 3 ) and 125 (5 3 ) but closer to 125. Estimates should be around 4.6 to 4.7. Students can verify the answer using a calculator. 20. Provide exercises to students to practice estimating the cube roots of numbers. They should give the two whole numbers that the estimate falls between and reasoning for where to place the root between the two whole numbers. Use calculators only for students needing assistance or to verify answers. Students also show their reasoning in written or oral explanations Distribute Attachment G, Estimating Cube Roots. See answers on Attachment H, Estimating Cube Roots Answer Key. Students perform a paired reading. While reading, they ask each 5
6 other questions to clarify the problem, determine appropriate strategies to estimate and identify the whole numbers the estimate falls between. 22. Observe students as they solve the problems and record the strategies students use to estimate square and cube roots. Assist students who demonstrate little understanding of the task and concept. 23. Ask several pairs to share their answers and lead the class to a consensus about the correct solutions and the method(s) used to find them. Questions for discussion include: Between what two whole numbers is the estimate? What is your support? What determined the placement in relationship between the two whole numbers? Differentiated Instructional Support: Instruction is differentiated according to learner needs, to help all learners either meet the intent of the specified indicator(s) or, if the indicator is already met, to advance beyond the specified indicator(s). Provide students who need assistance or do not recall square or cube numbers with a list of the squares of natural numbers through 20 and the cubes of natural numbers through 10. Provide calculators to verify their estimations. Additional materials such as grid paper and unit cubes will help develop understanding of perfect squares and perfect cubes. Students can draw or build models of numbers which make the perfect squares and cubes. Direct students who demonstrate understanding of the concept to create number lines containing perfect squares, perfect cubes and the square and cubed roots found in this lesson. Give exercises that go beyond 20-squared and 10-cubed. Challenge these students to develop methods for estimating to the nearest tenth or hundredth. Students paired readings appeal to the verbal/linguistic learner. Reading graphs involving directions satisfy the visual/spatial learner. Student work in pairs and small groups requires interpersonal skills. Working through the problems uses the logical/mathematical intelligence. Extensions: This lesson is a great pre-assessment for teaching the distance formula. Ask students how they would estimate roots of larger numbers to lead them into simplifying radicals. Home Connections: Students could look at maps at home to estimate distances when going on family outings. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, students can determine the actual mileage driven versus the actual distance from point A to point B.

10 Attachment C Estimating the Length of a Side of a Cube Post-Assessment Name: Date: Directions: Read the situation with a partner and answer the questions. When Wes got back to the carnival, he and a friend went to the dunking booth. It gave Wes an idea to put a dunking booth at the baseball field. That way, pitchers could work on their accuracy while cooling off the position players (everyone else). While he was standing in line thinking, he called his dad from his cell phone to ask if he could get about 1000 gallons of water donated from his dad s pool supply company. The tanks come in whole-foot sizes only. Due to cost, Wes needed to come up with the dimensions of the smallest cube-sized tank that would hold that amount of water. 1. Using the fact that one gallon equals about.1336 cubic feet of water, determine about how many cubic feet of space he needs. Show your work. 2. What are the dimensions of the smallest cube-shaped tank he could get? 3. Describe how you arrived at your solution for Question Two. 10
11 Attachment D Estimating Cube Roots Post-Assessment Answer Key 1. Using the fact that one gallon equals about.1336 cubic feet of water, determine about how many cubic feet of space he needs. Show your work * = cu.ft. 2. What are the dimensions of the smallest cube-shaped tank he could get? 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 cu. ft., because 5 x 5 x 5 =125 would be too small. 3. Describe how you arrived at your solution for Question Two. Accept reasonable answers and solutions. 11
12 Attachment E Estimating Square Roots Name Date Carolyn heard there is a free contest going on at Mike s Dollar Store and she wants to go there as fast as possible right after school. Her school is at the corner of Middle Road and Town Boulevard. The store is several blocks away at the corner of Timothy Drive and Ethan Avenue. Please use this information and the grid below to complete the following exercises. 1. On the grid, locate and label Carolyn s school and Mike s Dollar Store. Carolyn wants to beat classmates to the store, so she takes a shortcut and rides her bike through the field, directly to the store. The others use the roads. If she rides at the same rate as the others, prove she will arrive at the store before they will. 2. How far will Carolyn s classmates travel? 3. Estimate, using the Pythagorean Theorem, how far Carolyn will travel (in city blocks ). Show work here. 4. What are some ways to know if your estimate is reasonable for this situation? 12
13 Attachment F Estimating Square Roots Answer Key 1. On the grid locate and label Carolyn s school and Mike s Dollar Store. 2. How far will Carolyn s classmates travel? 8 city blocks 3. Estimate, using the Pythagorean Theorem, how far Carolyn will travel (in city blocks ). about 6 city blocks Show work here. 4. What are some ways to know if your estimate is reasonable for this situation? Answers vary. 13
14 Attachment G Estimating the Length of a Side of a Cube Name: Date: Directions: Read the situation with a partner and answer the questions. Carolyn arrives at Mike s Dollar Store ahead of her friends. She enters the store and sees this sign on the counter: HELP WANTED! Jelly Bean Packaging Job Description: Design cube-shaped containers Solve this problem and you get the job!!! Jelly beans are ordered in bulk by the case. I want to make cubeshaped containers filled with 500 jelly beans to sell for $1. Containers come in whole inch sizes. You need to create the smallest possible container that will hold 500 jelly beans. Carolyn knows she has only a few minutes head start, so she gets right to work. Next to the sign is a sample of six jelly beans. She observes that the paper cup they are in is about 1inch by 1inch by 1inch. Carolyn is confident she can solve the problem before the others even get started - and without a calculator. Follow Carolyn s thought process by answering the following questions: 1. How many jelly beans are in one cubic inch? 2. What is the approximate volume of 500 jelly beans? 3. Estimate the size of the smallest cube-shaped jar that would hold 500 jelly beans. 4. Explain why this is a reasonable estimate. 14
15 Attachment H Estimating the Length of a Side of a Cube Answer Key Follow Carolyn s thought process by answering the following questions: 1. How many jelly beans are in one cubic inch? about What is the approximate volume of 500 jelly beans? ~83cu.in Estimate the size of the smallest cube-shaped jar that would hold 500 jelly beans. 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 cu. in. 4. Explain why this is a reasonable estimate. 4 3 = 64, but that is not big enough to hold the jelly beans. You have to go to the next larger size to hold them all. 15
