Description
This is a great ready-to-print activity to introduce students the the number system and explore different types of rational numbers.
The activity asks students to pick 5 numbers:
- A natural number
- A whole number
- An integer
- A rational number
- Any number of their choice (it could be irrational)
The numbers should have a personal meaning for the student (ex. Whole number: 21 - This is my basketball jersey number)
PDF includes instruction worksheet and student worksheet. I usually have my students make a poster after completing the worksheet. This allows them to decorate and draw pictures to accompany their reasoning for picking each number.
*This activity is great to do at the beginning of the year for a class to get to know each other. I encourage teachers to also make one!
