What is Square Root Day?
Square Root Day is a day for fun and appreciation of mathematics. It’s a time when numbers align in a way that tickles the fancy of math lovers and educators alike. The concept is simple: when the month and the day are both the square root of the last two digits of the year, we get a Square Root Day. These days are rare, occurring only nine times each century¹.
The Origin of Square Root Day
The first Square Root Day was celebrated on September 9, 1981 (9/9/81), and it was the brainchild of Ron Gordon, a high school teacher from Redwood City, California. Gordon remains the holiday’s publicist, promoting it to media outlets and encouraging people to celebrate in creative ways¹.

It’s also a great opportunity to engage with students about the importance of mathematics in everyday life. Teachers can organize activities that involve square numbers and their roots, making learning fun and interactive¹.
