Lesson Description - Rational and Irrational Numbers:

This lesson covers the idea of rational and irrational numbers. Students learn that the following number sets represent rational numbers: natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, fractions, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals. For example, -2, 7, 3/4, 0.0006, and 0.191919… are all rational numbers. However, a decimal that is both non-terminating and non-repeating is an irrational number. For example, 0.12579835781… and 39.779778776775… are irrational numbers.
