Understanding Irrational Numbers with Math Games

3 games

This series of math games is designed to teach students about irrational numbers, numbers that are not rational. The Understand Irrational Numbers learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance to your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 8.NS.A.1 as written in the common core national math standards.

Irrational Numbers: Concepts Covered

Any number—including fractions, percents, and square roots—can be written as a decimal. A repeating decimal can be converted into a fraction, and every fraction can be expressed as a repeating decimal. Over time, the decimal expansion of a fraction will always repeat.

A rational number is any number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0. An irrational number, on the other hand, cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Its decimal form goes on infinitely without any repeating pattern.

Below is a preview of each game in this learning objective.
