Rational and Irrational Numbers

The document provides examples and definitions to distinguish between rational and irrational numbers. Rational numbers are those that terminate or have a repeating decimal pattern, such as fractions. Irrational numbers are any numbers that do not terminate or repeat as decimals, like the square root of non-perfect squares. Students are asked to identify numbers as rational or irrational and perform operations with square roots.
