The  exercise appears under the 8th Grade Math Mission. This exercise is an arithmetic drill for the cube root of perfect cubes.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Find the cube root of the number: This problem asks for the cube root of a given number. The student is expected to find the square root and write it in the space provided.Cr1.png

Strategies
Most of the cubes are slightly beyond what most students typically memorize. Therefore, memorizing the first twelve cubes could greatly increase proficiency on this exercise.
 * 1) All the numbers under the radicals will be perfect cubes, therefore the answers will all be integers.
 * 2) The largest number seen so far is the cube root of 1331 which is 11.

Real-life applications

 * 1) Cubes and thus cube roots have applications in geometry pertaining to many volume formulas and relationships.
