The Big Idea – Strong Roots, Steady Life

Big Idea

Square roots help us find the side length of a square area. In real life, this connects to housing lots — the land families live on. Some groups have access to larger, affordable lots, while others are limited. God calls us to fairness in how land and homes are shared.

Math + Faith Example

An affordable housing program offers square lots of 900 square feet.

To find the side length of each lot:
√900 = 30 feet (lot is 30 × 30)

Another community has 1600 square foot lots:
√1600 = 40 feet (lot is 40 × 40)

Comparing square roots shows differences in lot sizes and access to space for families.

Scripture Connections

Isaiah 65:21 (KJV): “And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.”
Leviticus 25:23 (KJV): “The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.”
