where should ?7 be plotted on a number line

To plot the number \( \sqrt{7} \) on a number line, you should determine its approximate value first. 

The square root of 7 lies between the square roots of 4 and 9, since:

- \( \sqrt{4} = 2 \)
- \( \sqrt{9} = 3 \)

So, \( \sqrt{7} \) is between 2 and 3. Calculating a more precise value:

\[ \sqrt{7} \approx 2.64575 \]

To plot \( \sqrt{7} \) on a number line:

1. Identify the position of 2 and 3 on the number line.
2. \( \sqrt{7} \) should be placed a bit closer to 3 than to 2, around 2.65.

It would be just slightly past the halfway mark between 2 and 3 on the number line.

2. What is the approximate location of \( \sqrt{5} \) on a number line?
3. How does the position of \( \sqrt{7} \) compare to \( \sqrt{8} \) on a number line?
4. How would you estimate \( \sqrt{2} \) on a number line?
5. What are the square roots of other numbers between 1 and 9?
6. How can you visualize the square root of a non-perfect square on a number line?
7. What method can be used to find square roots without a calculator?
8. How would you explain square roots to someone unfamiliar with them?

**Tip:** When estimating square roots, find the two perfect squares it falls between to approximate its position on a number line.
