Math IA
We will spend a short week exploring real numbers. Whenever we cover this topic, I am reminded of an old proverb…
Don't be like the frog at the bottom of the well who looks up at that small circle of stars and thinks that is all there is to heaven.
My job this week is to expand my students’ sense of what is a number. They know how to count, and they understand zero, but do they know where to put the square root of five on a number line? Can they tell a rational number from an irrational number? And if we have time, we might even discover complex numbers.
