The Real Numbers and Absolute Value Section 2.1

Essential Question What are the classifications of real numbers? How can you compare real number? Real numbers Integers Whole numbers Absolute value Rational Irrational

All numbers found on the number line. Real Numbers

Branching Real Numbers Real Numbers Rational Irrational Now let’s break these subsets down further!

Rational Numbers A rational number… is a real number that can be written as a ratio (fraction) of two integers. written in decimal form is terminating (ends) or repeating (same pattern of numbers).

Integers Integers are rational numbers because they can be written as fraction with 1 as the denominator. *Remember* Rational numbers can be written as a ratio (or in other words, a fraction)

What are integers? Integers are the whole numbers and their opposites. Examples of integers are What do you notice about these integers?

Whole Numbers All positive numbers that are counting numbers plus zero. How can you remember that zero goes with whole numbers? Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 …

Natural Numbers All of your counting numbers What numbers do you count with?

Kinds of Numbers 0 natural numbers 0 whole numbers 0 integers

Irrational Numbers An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a ratio (fraction) of two integers. written as decimals are non-terminating (never end!) and non-repeating (no pattern).
