H. Final Words: Why The Need To Learn SSQ?

Systematic Squaring (SSQ) is not at all a 'new inventive' way of squaring numbers. In fact, there are plenty of people in the internet that posted this similar topic. The only advantage of the articles written here is that they try to make things complete, starting from explaining what a 'square of a number' is all about up to the point of giving tips on how to make things (getting the squares of numbers), a bit fun and easier for grade school kids.

This is the very purpose of this work - to explain things in a much 'simpler way', based on  a child's basic understandings and not on the 'adult's approach' that somehow, made things complicated. Maybe, for a reason that  some educators w/ doctorates and Ph. Degrees  failed to give much attention - seems they'd 'learned things too much' that they're trying  to expound further the 'basics and fundamentals', which in a way - no need to further scrutinized. I already created a similar blog related to this topic, (Easy Square Root Method for Grade School Kids) but I found it  that it was not that 'easy' at all. I even incorporated or put along it, the topic about how to get the square root of numbers in what I thought as the most practical way of doing it. But as I reviewed my work and further studied how to make the presentation and explanations much direct and simple - I decided to create this new one. 

Others might ask, "What the use of teaching kids 'squaring and square rooting', knowing that calculators are invented to do such 'task'? Why the need to give children such kind of burden?" Well, Systematic Squaring (SSQ) and Easy Square Rooting (ESR) will develop a child's learning skill in adding and multiplying numbers in a fun and challenging way. The truth is that, (and many might agree with me), children hate to 'subtract' and 'divide' numbers. SSQ, along with ESR, in particular, don't require a kid to subtract a number, in comparison to the traditional way of getting the square root of a numbers that we, adults, learned from school (long hand division method). In ESR, the only division that involved is dividing a number by 2, which is not that difficult at all for any child to do. The other advantage in learning these two methods is that a child develops his or her learning skill in comparing numbers, of which has a greater or lesser value, as part of the 'basics' children will learn. A child might then have a better way of estimating 'values' minimizing the 'trial and error' method that become a tedious burden in that old traditional way of 'long division' method. 

These articles under the main title "Easy Way of Number Squaring For Grade School Kids" is a preparatory learning experience for young kids to level up, to a more exciting new  topic to learn -" Teach Your Kids EASY SQUARE ROOTING ".

Hope this will HELP A LOT ALL THE KIDS OUT THERE.
