How I Teach Rational and Irrational Numbers

This is a 35 page Smartboard file on the difference between rational and irrational numbers. The lesson starts by describing what it takes to be one type or another. From there the students classify them and tell why. Next the students have to decide which two integers a root would be located between. The lesson finishes by having students try and locate the numbers on a number line. You will find plenty of examples that include answers.
