Activity 1.1 Side Length, Area of a Square and Volume of a Cube

[br]This GeoGebra applet allows users to input their desired area for a square, enabling them to observe both the corresponding side length and the volume of a cube with a square face matching the inputted area. Users can[b][i] simply type the desired area in the input box[/i][/b], with values ranging from 0 to 400 square units.[br][br]Click the [b][i]checkbox[/i][/b] to [b][i]display or hide the length of the side of the square[/i][/b], along with the [b][i]volume of the corresponding cube[/i][/b] having the given square face.
[i]In this GeoGebra applet, the side length of the squares are rounded off up to the hundredths place value (up to 2 decimal values).[/i]

Activity 2.1 Solving problems involving square root and cube root

Solve three sets of values for each item.[br][br]For each item, write down your strategy or solution to explain how you solved it.
[size=150]Strategy/solution for Item #1 [br][br][math]\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{\left(value\right)}}[/math][/size]
[size=150]Strategy/solution for Item #2[br][br][math]\sqrt{\sqrt[3]{\left(value\right)}}[/math][br][/size]
[size=150]Strategy/solution for Item #3[br][br][math]\sqrt[3]{\sqrt[3]{\left(value\right)}}[/math][/size]

Activity 3.1: Classifying Numbers Based on Whole Number Ratios

Determine whether a number involving a[b][i] square root or cube root can be expressed as a fraction with whole number numerators and denominators[/i][/b].[br][br]Click the "[b][i]Yes[/i][/b]" button if the number can be written as a fraction with whole number numerators and denominators; click "[b][i]No[/i][/b]" if it cannot. Then, click the "[b][i]Submit[/i][/b]" button to check if your answers are correct.[br][br]Record your collected data in the table below, then describe your categories in the space provided.

Write a description about the numbers that [b][i]canNOT be expressed [/i][/b]as fractions with whole number numerators and denominators.

Activity 4.1 Estimating the location of rational and irrational numbers on the number line

Estimate the locations of the given numbers involving square roots and cube roots.[br][br][b][i]Drag the points[/i][/b] to their estimated positions. After making your estimates, click [b][i]Submit[/i][/b]. A [b][i]checkmark[/i][/b] will appear if your answers are correct.[br][br]At the end of this activity, describe your strategy or the process you used to estimate the locations of the given numbers.
Describe your strategy or the process you used to estimate the locations of the given numbers.
