Topic

Rational Numbers

Description

The video explores rational and irrational numbers. Rational numbers include integers, fractions, and repeating decimals. Irrational numbers, such as the square root of non-perfect squares and pi, are non-terminating and non-repeating. Examples include Pythagorean triples and circle circumference ratios. Applications focus on distinguishing between the two.

Integers make up a number system that is very useful for certain types of quantities. In this video we will explore what integers are in the context of real-world situations where it makes sense to use integers for counting and measurement.

Let’s start with an example.

There are two mounds of dirt and one hole in the ground at a construction site. What types of numbers can be used to count the mounds and the holes?
