Exponents: Basic Squares (to 12^2)

Our Exponents: Basic Squares worksheet introduces 5th graders to the concept of squaring numbers, covering all perfect squares from 1 squared through 12 squared.

How to Solve Exponents

Squaring a number means multiplying it by itself. For example, 7 squared (7^2) means 7 x 7 = 49. Work through each problem by identifying the base number and multiplying it by itself. Memorizing perfect squares up to 144 (12^2) provides a strong foundation for algebra and geometry.
