How it works
This perfect square number chart lists each number from 1 to 30 beside its square, 1 to 900. Other sheets turn it round into square roots, run on to 100 squared and list the perfect cubes to 15.

Print the chart
Press Print the chart. It prints on one page, on Letter or A4. The chart to 100 ends at 10,000, and a short one writes out 1 × 1 to 12 × 12, the diagonal of a times table.
Square roots and cubes
The square roots chart reads the other way: find 576, read 24. Three sheets cover cubes: 1 to 15 cubed with the multiplication written out, squares and cubes side by side, and cube roots.
Patterns in the squares
The gaps between squares are the odd numbers in order: 1, 4, 9 and 16 are 3, 5 and 7 apart. The square of a number that ends in 5 ends in 25: 225, 625, 1,225.
- A perfect square numbers chart with the squares left out is in the fill-in group. The filled chart is its answer sheet.
Questions and answers
What are the perfect squares from 1 to 100?
There are ten: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100. They are the squares of the numbers 1 to 10.
What is a perfect square?
A whole number you get by multiplying a whole number by itself. 49 is a perfect square because 7 × 7 = 49. 50 is not, because no whole number times itself makes 50.
Is 0 a perfect square?
Yes. 0 × 0 = 0, so 0 is the square of a whole number. This chart starts at 1 × 1.
How do you know if a number is a perfect square?
Its square root is a whole number. A quick first check is the last digit: a number that ends in 2, 3, 7 or 8 is never a perfect square.
What are the perfect cubes from 1 to 1,000?
There are ten: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729 and 1,000, the cubes of 1 to 10. Of these, 1, 64 and 729 are also perfect squares.
