…they they’re listed on the back. Tell students that they must memorize all high-lighted perfect squares and square roots. Break it down for them so the task doesn’t seem that formidable. 1 – 12 they’ll have as a consequence of memorizing their times tables. Ask them why 132 (169) and 142 (196) will be easy to remember.
