Goal/Objective 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.

Essential Question How do I understand and perform operations with the Real Number System? Q N Z W IR

The Real Number System The Real Number System is made up of a set of rational and irrational numbers. It has at five subsets: Rational Numbers (Q) Integers (Z) Whole Numbers (W) Natural Numbers (N) Irrational Numbers (IR)

Real Numbers Definitions
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. O -6 4
6
Rational Numbers Rational Numbers – consists of integers, terminating, and repeating decimals. It can also be expressed as a fraction. {…-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}
7
Rational Numbers 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, …}
8
Integers Whole numbers – consist of natural numbers and zero. {0, 1, 2, 3, 4,…} Natural numbers – are all the counting numbers. {1, 2, 3, 4…} Negative numbers ={…-4, -3, -2, -1}
9
Rational Numbers 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…, ,
10
Irrational Numbers Irrational numbers consist of numbers that are non-terminating and non-repeating decimals. They cannot be express as a fraction! Pi is an great example of an irrational number .001, .0011, , …etc
