1. About Surds

For a more detailed explanation, please click on either of the attached Indices Theory Guide in a Nutshell or Surds Theory Guide in a Nutshell links. Please also find in the section below several worksheets and solutions on this topic to help your understanding. Essential Skills worksheets 1, 3 & 6 along with worksheets including actual SQA N5 Maths exam questions are highly recommended.

An SQA N5 Maths exam question on Surds is shown below:

Express as a surd in its simplest form 

.          √40 + 4√10 + √90

Source: N5 Maths, 2014, P1, Q8

The meaning of the word ‘Surd’ is two fold. In mathematics it refers to a number that is partly rational, partly irrational.

A Surd is.

• A square root which cannot be reduced to a whole number
• The only way to express an irrational number in an exact way

For example:

• √4  is not a surd, as the answer is 2 (whole number)
• √5 is a surd, as the answer is 2.2360679 (irrational number)
