Description
Students often need lots of practice with classifying rational and irrational numbers. This activity gives them that practice while reminding them of the characteristics of the respective number types.
One page has step-by-step directions with embedded definitions and students classify 100 numbers on another page by coloring them according to the directions. The coloring helps to motivate the students and makes it easy for you to spot if they're on the right track!
This activity requires that students are familiar with perfect squares and cubes, negative exponents and simplifying basic expressions. To make it more accessible, you can allow the use of a calculator to evaluate the expressions.

This was the perfect differentiated activity for my 8th graders in pre-algebra
My students absolutely loved this! It was a great way to review this concept for them!
Students love to color
It was great to give me students something so hands on! I did make sure to make their copies as 2 to 1 so that they had the instructions right next to the blocks to make it easier for them.
An engaging activity for students.
