Square and Cube Numbers — Free KS3 Worksheet
A free, printable KS3 worksheet on square and cube numbers, with a full worked answer key. 16 questions graded easy to hard for Years 7, 8 and 9, building from squares and cubes up to higher powers, mixed calculations and worded patio and box problems.
The companion worksheet for the square and cube numbers lesson. One idea does all the work: the small raised number tells you how many of the number to multiply together — squaring builds a square, cubing builds a cube, and it never means "multiply by that number". The questions build from square numbers, through cubes and higher powers, up to mixed calculations and two worded questions about a square patio and a cube-shaped box. Every one comes with a full worked answer so you can mark it together. No calculator needed.
