Song OverviewSquare Number Bashing is a marching track that helps children remember the Square Numbers from 12 up to 102.
Did You Know?Square Numbers are the product of two indentical positive integers (whole numbers). 1.5 x 1.5 = 2.25, but 2.25 is not considered to be a square number because 1.5 isn’t a positive integer. Square numbers and prime numbers are mutually exclusive, i.e. there are no square numbers that are also prime numbers. This is because square numbers always have an odd number of factors (E.g. 4 has three factors, 1, 2 and 4). Prime numbers have only two distinct factors, one and themselves. The reason square numbers are called square numbers is due to the square nature of the array image for each square number. The video presentation uses the Slavonic Abacus image, which splits each dimension into 5s. This abacus imagery enables more reasoning to take place. For example, the colours in the image of 72 reveal that it is made up 52 + (2x5) + (5x2) + 22!
Activity Ideas (using a cut up and shuffled set of Cubed Number Cards)A1: Speed Recall: Players play with a partner and a central pack of cards. A card is turned over and the first person to state the phrasing on the corresponding card, wins it. E.g. if 72 is turned over, the player who says 49 first wins the card. If the abacus image is turned over, players need to state both 72 and 49 to win the card.A2: Super Cubed Sort: Players are against the clock or each other as they seek to sort all the cards out into the correct order, matching all three images together for each Cubed number.A3: Cubed Number Knockout: Players split the pack of Cubed Number Cards between them. Both players turn over a card. The player with the bigger Cubed number wins both cards and puts them to the bottom of their pile. This can only happen if they can reason why they have won the cards. For example, if the cards 36 and 1

Top Tips (using online Video File or Full Track mp3)
T1: Hidden Cubed Numbers Pause the track at 1:07 and ask children to focus on the Slavonic abacus image. What does the image reveal? What four multiplication facts are hidden in the image? (i.e. 5 x 5, 5 x 2, 2 x 5 and 2 x 2) How many Cubed numbers are captured in the image? (i.e. 4 (2 x 2), 25 (5 x 5) and 49 (7 x 7).T2: Sergeant Major Children should follow the actions and marching led by the virtual Sergeant Major!
