Met expectations
Great value
Standards-aligned
This worksheet was exactly what I needed for my classroom! The directions were clear, the layout was student-friendly, and the activities were both engaging and rigorous. My students were able to work independently while still being challenged, and I appreciated how well the content aligned with standards. It saved me valuable prep time and made my lesson flow smoothly. I’ll definitely be coming back for more resources from this seller!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., π²). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.
