This task can be used to either build or assess initial understandings related to rational approximations of irrational numbers.

Standard 8.NS.1 requires students to "convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number." Despite this choice of wording, the numbers in this task are rational numbers regardless of choice of representation. For example, 0.333 and 1/3 are two different ways of representing the same number.

The purpose of this lesson is to compare and order rational numbers.

Using the fundamentals of set theory, explore the mind-bending concept of the "infinity of infinities" -- and how it led mathematicians to conclude that math itself contains unanswerable questions.

This task requires students to determine whether a number is rational or irrational. The task assumes that students are able to express a given repeating decimal as a fraction.

This task has students experiment with the operations of addition and multiplication, as they relate to the notions of rationality and irrationality.

This task makes for a good follow-up task on rational irrational numbers after that the students have been acquainted with some of the more basic properties. In addition to eliciting several different types of reasoning, the task requires students to rewrite radical expressions in which the radicand is divisible by a perfect square (N-RN.2).
