By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Represent natural numbers, integers, and rational numbers on the number line accurately and confidently.
- Differentiate between terminating and recurring decimals, and understand their connection to rational numbers.
- Perform operations on real numbers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Identify non-terminating and non-recurring decimals and understand the concept and existence of irrational numbers (like √2, √3, π).
- Represent irrational numbers on the number line and explain how every real number corresponds to a unique point on the line, and vice versa.
- Understand and define the nth root of a real number, and interpret its meaning both algebraically and geometrically.
- Learn and apply the concept of rationalization of denominators involving irrational numbers (like √x, √y, a ± √b), and simplify such expressions.
- Recall and apply laws of exponents with integral powers, and gradually extend understanding to rational exponents with positive real bases through specific examples.
- Build a strong conceptual foundation in the structure of the real number system and its operations, enabling a better understanding of algebraic expressions and higher-level math.
Curriculum Overview
- Review of the representation of natural numbers, integers, and rational numbers on the number
line. Rational numbers as recurring/ terminating decimals. Operations on real numbers. - Examples of non-recurring/non-terminating decimals. Existence of non-rational numbers
(irrational numbers) such as , and their representation on the number line. Explaining
that every real number is represented by a unique point on the number line and conversely,
viz. every point on the number line represents a unique real number. - Definition of nth root of a real number.
- Rationalization (with precise meaning) of real numbers
and (and their combinations) where x and y are natural numbers and a and b are
integers. - Recall of laws of exponents with integral powers. Rational exponents with positive real bases
(to be done by particular cases, allowing the learner to arrive at the general laws.)
