Number System (Rational + Irrational Numbers, Roots, Estimating Roots) Game
Share

Description

A review activity game for the number system! This game includes classifying rational vs. irrational numbers, estimating roots (square roots + one cubic root), and ordering numbers. Each question is completely editable (as a Google slide) so you can change it if you want!

All you need to do to prep for this is write random integers between -50 and +50 on 20ish popsicle sticks. When each student team gets a correct answer, one team member gets to pull a popsicle stick. These numbered popsicle sticks can increase or decrease their score. But it's okay if it decreases because at the end of class, you will flip a coin to determine whether the team with the highest score wins (Heads!) or the team with the lowest score wins (Tails!). I did this because I was sick of students playing a game and giving up when their scores weren't always going up as quickly as other teams. Now students don't feel that there is no hope if they miss a question.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.
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.
