Day 1: Classification of Real Numbers N-RN.3 Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number irrational. Warm-Up Rewrite each fraction as a decimal. 1 2 1 4 1 3 1 9 How are the decimals of the first two fractions different from the decimals of the second two fractions? All the numbers that we know positives, negatives, radicals, decimals, and fractions are called real numbers and they can be placed in different groups. Natural numbers (N), or counting numbers, are the numbers we count with: 1, 2, 3, Whole numbers (W) are the natural numbers plus zero: 0, 1, 2, 3, Integers (Z) are whole numbers and their opposites: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Rational numbers (Q) can be expressed in the form of a fraction (or ratio). Rational numbers include terminating and repeating decimals. Terminating decimals end, such as: 0.57, 2.3, or 0.05 Repeating decimals repeat the same digit or set of digits, like 0.333. or 0.123123123. Note: Since all integers can be written as fractions, integers are also rational. Also, since the square roots of perfect squares are integers, they are also rational. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction. In decimal form, these decimals are nonterminating and nonrepeating. 3

Day 3: Evaluation of Expressions 6. EE. 2. Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers. c. Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations). For example, use the formulas V = s3 and A = 6 s2 to find the volume and surface area of a cube with sides of length s = 1/2. Warm-Up To evaluate an expression means to substitute (plug in) numbers for its variables and determine a numerical answer. Rule #1: The number you substitute must always go in parentheses. Evaluate each expression when x = 5, y = - 4, z = -2. 1) x + y 2) z y 3) z yx 4) y 2 5) x 2 6) z 2 5z 7) x 3 8) 4 + y 3 9) z 3 2y 12
