Grade 8 · CCSS 8.EE.A.2, 8.NS.A.2

Name

1. A square has an area of 121 square units. How long is each side?

2. √60 is between which two whole numbers?

and

3. ∛64 = ?

Answer Key: Exit Ticket

Square Roots and Cube Roots

11 (11 × 11 = 121)
7 and 8 (49 < 60 < 64)
4 (4 × 4 × 4 = 64)

Quick read: 60.5 on #1 means the student halved the area; 21 on #3 means they divided by 3. Have them play with just Square Roots and Side of a Square turned on, where each wrong answer draws the square, then add Cube Roots.
