8.NS: Know that there are numbers that are not rational and approximate them by rational numbers. 8.NS.1: Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; the rational numbers are those with decimal expansions that terminate in zeros or eventually repeat. Know that other numbers are called irrational numbers.
How can you identify whether numbers are rational or irrational, and where do they classify within the number system? Q Z W IR N
The Real Number System is made up of a set of rational and irrational numbers. It has at five subsets: a. Rational Numbers (Q) b. Integers (Z) c. Whole Numbers (W) d. Natural Numbers (N) e. Irrational Numbers (IR)
Real Numbers consists of all rational and irrational numbers. It includes any number that can be written as a fraction, mixed numbers, terminating and repeating decimals, whole numbers, integers, square and cube roots. O
Rational Numbers consists of integers, terminating, and repeating decimals. It can also be expressed as a fraction, perfect squares and perfect cubes. { -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, }
Integers consist of natural numbers, their opposites (negative # s), and zero. It does not include fractions or decimals. All whole numbers are integers. For example: { -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, )}
Whole numbers consist of natural numbers and zero. {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, } Natural numbers are all the counting numbers. {1, 2, 3, 4 }
Terminating Decimals are rational numbers that stops before or after the decimal point. For example: 5.0, 2.75, .40, .0001 etc. Repeating Decimals are rational numbers that repeats after the decimal point. For example: .3333 , ,
Irrational numbers consist of numbers that are non- terminating and non-repeating decimals. They cannot be express as a fraction! Pi is a great example of an irrational number http://www.joyofpi.com/pi.html .001, .0011, .00111, .001111 etc
