Subject: Re: Square Root

The Ask Dr. Math site has many questions/answers archived on a variety of
mathematical topics and I bet finding square roots is one of them! If we
start here:

http://mathforum.org/dr.math

you can see that there is a Dr. Math FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) link
and also there are Archive links.

When I went to the Dr. Math FAQ link:

http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq

I looked on the list and found "Square Roots without a Calculator" which is
here:

http://mathforum.org/dr.math/faq/faq.sqrt.by.hand.html

That page has a lot of good information that might be helpful for you and
your child.

Then backing up a little I went to view the Middle School Archives and I
found a category called "Square Roots" that had many questions/answers that
other students had previously asked of Dr. Math and that he/she had answered!
That page you can view here:

http://mathforum.org/dr.math/tocs/squareroot.middle.html

I hope that information is helpful.
