Perfect Square Bingo Card instructions

  • On a piece of card stock or graph paper create a 4 x 4 grid with 16 squares which are each about 1 inch on each side.

  • In these squares write 1-squared through 16 squared, but use the exponent notation as I have in the photo above. Mix up the order of the square numbers.

  • Then make a second bingo board with the same dimensions but with all the perfect square numbers between 1 and 256. In other words

    • 1-squared = 1 x 1 =1, so write 1 in a box.

    • 2-squared is 2x2=4, so write 4 in a box.

    • 3-squared is 3x3=9, so write 9 in a box

    • and so on through 16-squared which is 16x16=256

  • Our goal is to memorize 1-squared through 16-squared.

Perfect Square Bingo card can look like this below but don’t copy the order I used. You want a unique order.

I recommend you also take the 1-10’s multiplication quiz to see how long it takes you to get 40 questions correct. You are aiming for 60 seconds or less, but under 90 seconds is solid.
