Abstract
One of the algorithms taught at the elementary level is deriving the square root of a number using the long division method. Like many algorithms taught in high school, the focus is on the ‘how’ of performing the steps rather than the ‘why’ these steps produce the square root. This article focuses on developing a conceptual understanding of the Square Root Algorithm.
