Real Numbers
Real Numbers…made real!
Real Numbers Assignment Assignment will be posted on edmodo. Essentially, you will create a diagram similar to the one on the previous slide to demonstrate your understanding of the relationship of real numbers in an abstract way. You will have 1 week to submit it.
Vocabulary open sentence : a mathematical sentence containing one or more variables equation: a mathematical sentence stating that two mathematical expressions are equal solution : a replacement value that makes an open sentence true
Vocabulary inverse operation: operation used to undo another operation identity: an equation that is true for every real value of the variable literal equation: an equation that uses at least two different letters as variables
