Calculate Powers and Roots
Your Turn
Powers 1. Write down the first 15 square numbers.
Example: Evaluate 52

If you were to write this question out fully,

you would write 5 x 5 and not 5 x 2 2. Write down the first 5 cube numbers.

52 = 5 X 5
5 X 5 = 25
3. Evaluate 72
Similarly, if you were asked to evaluate 43 ,
the calculation would be 4 x 4 x 4
4. Evaluate 142
43 = 4 X 4 X 4
4 X 4 X 4 = 64

Roots 5. Evaluate 53
Sometimes, you may be asked to find the
square root or the cube root. Think of it as
the opposite of squaring or cubing a number;
6. Evaluate ✓144
you are trying to find the number which you
have multiplied by itself to make the number
inside the root. 7. Evaluate ✓-si
For example:
✓100 = 10 8. Evaluate 3-164

3 ✓rf = 3

Using the Bus Stop Method for Dividing
Your Turn
Worked Example
Complete each division using the bus stop method.
125 + 5
1. 945 + 5
Step 1
Set up your bus stop. Remember that the first
number goes inside the bus stop and what
you're dividing by goes on the outside.

511 2 5

Step 2 2. 1056 + 8
1 + 5 or, in other words, how many 5s go into
1? The answer is 0. So, write 0 above the line
and carry your 1 over to the 2 to make 12.

Step 3
3. 264 + 4
12 + 5 or, in other words, how many 5s go
into 12? The answer is 2 with a remainder
of 2. So, write 2 above the line and carry the
remainder over to the 5.

Step 4 4. 744 + 6
25 + 5 or, in other words, how many 5s go
into 25? The answer is 5.

Final answer: 125 + 5 = 25

5. 2054 + 5
