# Converting Square Root to Fractional Indice

I was going through Indices with some of the students recently when I notice this common misconception.
$\sqrt{a}$ is read as Square Root which means the "default" number outside the square root sign is 2 NOT 1 which a couple of students have thought about.

I am going to write some tips on operations of standard form questions so I strongly suggest you subscribe to my feed if you have not done so,so that you will be posted when I write a new post .

Hi, I'm Ai Ling Ong. I enjoy coaching students who have challenges with understanding and scoring in 'O' Level A-Maths and E-Maths. I develop Math strategies, sometimes ridiculous ideas to help students in understanding abstract concepts the fast and memorable way. I write this blog to share with you the stuff I teach in my class, the common mistakes my students made, the 'way' to think, analyze... If you have found this blog post useful, please share it with your friends. I will really appreciate it! :)
