About Tricky Square Roots

Tricky Square Roots is a fun and brain-teasing number puzzle game designed to sharpen your math skills while keeping things light, colorful, and engaging. Perfect for players of all ages, this game challenges your ability to connect, match, and identify square roots of numbers from 1 to 10 — all presented on bright, cheerful tiles!

How to play

Look at the number or tile shown on the board and decide which square root or matching pair belongs with it. Tap or click to connect tiles that share the same root relationship, such as linking 9 with 3 or 16 with 4, depending on the level’s rules. Clear the puzzle by making all the correct connections before time runs out or the board fills up.

Tips and tricks

Memorise the basic square relationships from 1² to 10² so you can spot correct pairs instantly without counting. When several options look similar, check the ones and tens digits carefully to avoid matching 36 with 5 instead of 6. If the game uses a timer, start with the easiest pairs to build confidence, then focus on the remaining tricky numbers near the end.

Why this game works well at school or work

Tricky Square Roots turns square-root practice into a colourful matching challenge that is ideal for quick review sessions. Teachers can use it as a warm-up or station activity, while individual players can drop in for just a few rounds between other tasks. Because it runs directly in the browser and relies on simple taps or clicks, it works well on school computers and shared devices.
