4. Vocabulary Words
Real Number- a number which can be written as a decimal. Rational Numbers- a number expressible in the form a/b or –a/b (fractions) including integers. Irrational Numbers- a number not expressible in the form a/b or –a/b and the decimal form is non repeating and non terminating. Integers- the numbers …-3,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 …., if 1 is in the denominator can be written as a fraction. Whole Number- the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, … . Natural Number- the numbers 1, 2, 3, … .

5. Two Kinds of Real Numbers
Rational Numbers
Irrational Numbers

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

7. Examples of Rational Numbers16
1/2
3.56 -8
1.3333…
- 3/4
Can you write 16 as a ratio?
Now try writing -8 as a ratio!

8. Examples of Irrational Numbers
Square roots of non-perfect “squares” Pi 17
What is the square root of 17?
What is another non-perfect square?

9. Integers One of the subsets of rational numbers
So what do integers branch off of?

10. What are integers? Integers are the whole numbers and their opposites.
Examples of integers are 6
-12
186
-934
What do you notice about these integers?

11. Whole Numbers One of the subsets of rational numbers and integers
So what do whole numbers branch off of?

12. Natural Numbers
One of the subsets of rational numbers, integers and whole numbers
So what do natural numbers branch off of?

13. Classify the following Numbers
What subset(s) do the following numbers belong to? Remember they could belong to more than one!
Whole, Integers, Rational, and Real
