Spot-check trick: a perfect square can only end in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9 — a number ending in 2, 3, 7, or 8 is never a perfect square.

Consecutive squares differ by the odd numbers. 1, 4, 9, 16, 25… the gaps are 3, 5, 7, 9 — so you can walk from any square to the next by adding the next odd number (15² = 225, so 16² = 225 + 31 = 256). The first n cubes sum to a perfect square: 1³ + 2³ + … + n³ = (1 + 2 + … + n)². For example 1 + 8 + 27 + 64 = 100 = 10².
For anything beyond the tables — 137², 41³, or fractional powers like 502.5 — the exponent calculator has you covered, and the cheat sheet collects all the exponent rules on one printable page. Also see the full powers of 2 table.
