Ordering Real Numbers 8.NS.2
Comparing Real Numbers To compare and order real numbers: FIRST APPROXIMATE IRRATIONAL NUMBERS AS DECIMALS Example: Compare 3 +5 ⍜ 3+ 5 Estimate 3 and 5 3 is between 1 and 2 5 is between 2 and 3 3 +5 is between 6 and 7 3+ 5 is between 5 and 6 So, 𝟑 +𝟓>𝟑+ 𝟓
Compare These 2 +4 ⍜ 2+ 4 12 +6 ⍜ 12+ 6
Ordering Real Numbers To compare and order real numbers: FIRST APPROXIMATE IRRATIONAL NUMBERS AS DECIMALS Example: Order 22 , 𝜋+1, and 4 1 2 from least to greatest 22 is between 4 and 5, so it is 4.something 22−16 25−16 = 6 9 = 2 3 =0. 6 ≈0.7 So, 22 ≈4.7, 𝜋+1≈4.14, 4 1 2 =4.5 The numbers in order (as they would appear on the number line) are: 𝜋+1, 4 1 2 , and 22
