Today I am going to explain how to estimate the square root of 89. First we need to set the barriers the square root of 81 is to the left, and the square root of 100 is to the right.  We know that the square root of 81 one is 9 and the square roost of 100 is 10. So between those two is 9.5. We need find out what square root is 9.5. First  we need to find the middle first we find out the gap between 81, and 100. The gap is 19  so we cut 19 in half and then we get 9.5. Next we add 9.5 to 81 and get 90.5 now that we have found the middle we will see how close the square root of 89 is to the middle of the barriers. So we estimate how far away it is some were around 9.4. Now we put it in our calculator, and get 9.43 so we were almost spot on.

A couple days ago I took my first math test it was pretty easy. It was mostly about adding and subtracting negative numbers. I did it two times because I missed a question sadly, but I practiced and did it another time and got an A+.  I got messed up on whether it was a negative or a positive. Over all it was a pretty easy test I hope they dont get any harder.

My name is Matthew Chapman I’m 13 years old and live in West Virginia. I have one brother and one sister each one older than me.
