Welcome :Welcome To
the REAL NUMBERS
First things first… :First things first… How well can you remember your math definitions?
Let’s see how much you still recall after your long and fun vacation!
Let’s start with the Real Numbers: :Let’s start with the Real Numbers: Have you ever heard of the REAL NUMBERS?
That is what we call the set of all of the numbers that we use in Mathematics.
Slide 4:The Real Numbers is the name that is used in Mathematics to label
all the numbers you would ever use.
It even includes numbers that
continue on and on in to infinity!

Slide 5:Next you will look at a chart which
divides up all the Real Numbers into smaller
subsets.
The Real Numbers :The Real Numbers
The Real Numbers :The Real Numbers Fall in to 2 groups:
The Rational Numbers
The Irrational Numbers
The Rational Numbers :The Rational Numbers Are numbers which make sense!
The Irrational Numbers :The Irrational Numbers Don’t really make sense.
Irrational Numbers :Irrational Numbers
Everything else :Everything else Is
Rational!
Every single other number! :Every single other number! 7 .255 ½ 25.22
-82 120.870 200,000 -.008
Yep! They are all rational!
So far we know that: :So far we know that: Rational numbers make sense.
Irrational numbers don’t make sense!
(because they never end and have
no pattern)!
Quiz :Quiz Is 3.14 a rational number or an irrational number?
Is .072119840… a rational number or an irrational number?
Is 27.445 a rational number or an irrational number?
Slide 15:The answer for every question is:
Irrational
None of those numbers are rational!
None of those numbers make sense!
