4, and 9, and 25,
Laughed at 8, they felt real wise,
Square numbers rule, was their rant,
We graph as squares and you just can’t!
You think you’re cool,
8 laughed out loud,
My factors rock,
They do me proud,
8 x 1,
4 x 2,
Not boring squares,
Like all of you!
Square numbers are the product of a number multiplied by itself.
An exponent (the small number after the base number) shows how many times to multiply a number by itself:
52 means multiply 5 x 5
53 means multiply 5 x 5 x 5
Square numbers can be graphed as a rectangular array with equal sides,
or in other words, a square.
