Each student picks a number. Using multiplication table, list all numbers whose product equals that number. Discuss: which ones appear only as 1 and itself?
Cards with perfect square numbers distributed. Each student does prime factorization of their card, then pairs with a partner to extract the square root.
Guided practice: Find √144 using the pairing method. Each pair of prime factors gives one number outside the radical sign. √144 = 2×2×3 = 12
Find √324 individually. Show step-by-step work. Evaluate using rubric: factorization correct? Pairing done? Answer reached?
