Real Numbers
• Real numbers consist of all the rational
and irrational numbers.
• The real number system has many
subsets:
– Natural Numbers
– Whole Numbers
– Integers
Natural Numbers
• Natural numbers are the set of counting
numbers.
{1, 2, 3,…}
Whole Numbers
• Whole numbers are the set of numbers that
include 0 plus the set of natural numbers.
{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,…}
Integers
• Integers are the set of whole numbers and
their opposites.
{…,-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,…}
Rational Numbers
• Rational numbers are any numbers that can
be expressed in the form of a fraction where the
denominator is not zero.
• They can always be expressed by using
terminating decimals or repeating decimals.
Terminating Decimals
• Terminating decimals are decimals that
contain a finite number of digits.
• Examples:
36.8
0.125
4.5
Repeating Decimals
• Repeating decimals are decimals that contain an infinite
number of digits.
• Examples:
0.333…
1.9
7.689689…
FYI…The line above the decimals indicate that number
repeats.
Irrational Numbers
• Irrational numbers are non-terminating, non-
repeating decimals; decimals that go on forever
without repeating a pattern.
• Examples of irrational numbers:
– 0.34334333433334…
– 45.86745893…
– (pi)
2
Example
• Classify all the following numbers as natural, whole, integer,
rational, or irrational. List all that apply.
a. 117
b. 0
c. -12.64039…
d. -½
e. 6.36
f.
g. -3
To show how these number are classified, use the Venn
diagram. Place the number where it belongs on the Venn
diagram.

Solution
• Now that all the numbers are placed where they belong in the
Venn diagram, you can classify each number:
– 117 is a natural number, a whole number, an integer, and a
rational number.
– 1 is a rational number.
2
– 0 is a whole number, an integer, and a rational number.
– -12.64039… is an irrational number.
– -3 is an integer and a rational number.
– 6.36 is a rational number.
– is an irrational number.
– is a rational number.

Our school just completed a fundraiser. We need to decide
which homeroom had the highest sales because they will
win a pizza party. The five eighth grade homeroom
teachers reported their sales as a fraction or decimal of
total school sales. Order these from greatest to least to
decide the winner. (The winner is the homeroom with the
greatest sales.)
• Homerooms
• Brown 3/8
• Steele 0.12
• Peterson 1/9
• Mabry 0.15
• Lawrence 1/4
Students will be able to understand that:.
all fractions have an equivalent repeating or
terminating decimal representation
all rational decimals can be written as a
fraction
Essential Questions:
How do you decide which form of a number
is appropriate in the context of a problem?
What are whole numbers?
What are rational numbers?
What are irrational numbers?
