This study compares Ibrahim Hakki's perspective with the method included in the former primary school mathematics curriculum to calculate the approximate values for the square root of numbers and aims to employ Ibrahim Hakki's perspective to estimate the approximate values for the square root of numbers in the new curriculum. It was observed that the rule in the former primary school mathematics curriculum was removed from the curriculum since it was complicated. It was concluded that the method used by Ibrahim Hakki and proposed in the study is simpler, more comprehensible, and easier to remember. It was found that the method employed by Ibrahim Hakki can be used to calculate the approximate values for the square root of numbers in the former primary school mathematics curriculum and to estimate these values in the new mathematics curriculum.
