Build meaning first
Build a perfect square
Squaring uses two equal factors. The model shows why.
32 = 3 × 3 = 9
3 units
Each side: 3 units · Area: 9 square units
3 rows × 3 squares in each row gives 9 squares.
Connect the inverse facts
3² = 9 · √9 = 3
The exponent counts equal factors; it does not mean multiply by 2 or 3.
