  1. What’s In A Number? The Mysterious World of Number Identity…

  2. Focus 4 - Learning Goal #1: Students will know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them with rational numbers.

  3. Categories of Numbers in the REAL Number System • Natural Numbers • Whole Numbers • Integers • Rational Numbers • Irrational Numbers

  4. Natural Numbers • Are the counting numbers • {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, …}

  5. Whole Numbers • All of the counting numbers and zero. • {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, …}

  6. Integers • Are all of the natural numbers, their opposites and zero. • {…, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}

  7. Rational Numbers • Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction (a/b). • This set includes the integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals. • Some examples: • 2 = 2/1 • 3 ¼ = 13/4 • -0.25 = -25/100 • 1/3 = 0.33333333333333333333333

  8. Irrational Numbers • Numbers that CANNOT be expressed as a fraction of integers. • In decimal form, they are the numbers that go on forever without a repeating pattern. • Some examples: • √2 = 1.4142… • π= 3.1415… • 45.9492…

  11. Classify each number as natural, whole, integer, rational, or irrational. Write as many as apply. • 7.4569594… • -5 ¾ • -79 • 3 • 0 • √16
