How to Make a Square Root Spiral Classroom Activity

Square Root Spiral Activity

• Begin with a central point, O, to mark the origin of the square root spiral.
• Extend a 1 cm horizontal line from O, labeled as OA.
• From point A, draw a perpendicular 1 cm line to create segment AB.
• Connect points O and B to establish segment OB, representing √2.
• Extend another 1 cm perpendicular line from B to reach point C.
• Join points O and C to form segment OC, symbolizing √3.
• Repeat this method sequentially to depict √4, √5, and √6, expanding the spiral with each iteration.
