Rational and Irrational Numbers

(0)
The power point lesson teaches students the understanding of the works Rational and irrational when it comes to numbers. There is a proof for the square root of 2 being irrational and a number of examples where recurring decimals are expressed as fractions (hence showing that they are rational numbers). I always teach this lesson before introducing the simplifying of surds.
