Students will be able to
identify rational numbers (including fractions, decimals, and integers),
find the position of a rational number on a number line,
recognize the set of rational numbers (ℚ),
find a rational number at a specified point between two rational numbers.
Students should already be familiar with
Different sets of numbers like natural numbers, whole numbers, integers.
Properties on set of numbers :- closure, Associative, Distributive..
After learning the set of Natural numbers, Whole numbers,Integers and its properties and basic operations on these sets and basics of rational numbers in previous class. Now students are introduced to the properties of Rational numbers, location of Rational numbers on number line and Identifying rational numbers between rational numbers
The closure property on Rational numbers set is that, is set is closed with respect to that operation if the operation can always be completed with elements in the set. Thus, Rational number set either has or lacks closure with respect to a given operation.
