Abstract: This study presents, findings on the manual squaring of numbers be it positive, negative, decimal or fractional. Presented is the model algorithm of squaring where use is made of the digits of the number to be squared. To substantiate the validity of the developed algorithm, examples of the squares of numbers were given for positive and negative numbers of single, double, triple, four digit numbers, decimal numbers and fractions. Results show that any number can be manually and unconventionally squared making use of the digit model algorithm.
