Multiplying by itself (squaring)

In mathematics, we call multiplying a number by itself squaring the number.

We call the result of squaring a whole number a square or a perfect square.

You should be able to fire out the answers to all squares up to `12times12`

It’s just got to be inbuilt.

To help you remember these squared numbers try these:

4 x 4 = 16

4X4 is 16 memory aid

This 4x4 is a big machine I’m going to get one when I’m 16.

5x10 then half the result

Multiply by 10 and half the result.
