In this project you will work with dot paper to drawing straight and tilted squares and calculate their areas and side lengths.

It is difficult to visualize a line that is or long. You will be using 1-cm dot paper to draw squares with different areas and finding the lengths of line segments between dots on the grid. This project will give you a greater understanding of radicals and help you to see that are numbers as real and definite as 2 or 5.
