Lesson 5: Square root. Percent

Here is a PDF version of the lesson.

Here is a PDF version of the workbook containing lots of practice.

In this lesson we are discussing two topics: square root of a number and percent.

A square root of a number is a number that has been squared to get the number under the square root.

For example, the square root of 4 is 2, because 2 x 2 = 4.

Watch the video lesson to see what symbol is used to represent the square root and why we cannot take a square root of a negative number.

We have already discussed the concept of percent in our previous lessons, however, since it is a very commonly used concept, we will go over it again in more detail.

In this lesson you will learn the general formula for finding the percent of a number. 

Together, we will go over some real life problems with percentages.
