Real numbers consist of both rational and irrational numbers.

Real numbers are classified according to their characteristics.

Natural Numbers are the counting numbers: 1,2,3,

Whole Numbers are the natural numbers and zero: 0, 1, 2,3.........NO Fractions!!!!!!!!!
lnteqers include both positive and negative numbers but do not include numbers that
-3, -2, -1,0,1,2, 3,..........
have a decimal.
Rational Numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a simple fraction or as a
ratio. Rational numbers can also be a terminating or repeating decimal.

Example: 1.5 is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 3/2

Example: 7
Example:

is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 711

0.317 is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 3171{000

lrrational Numbers are all real numbers that are not rational. These numbers cannot be
written as a ratio of two integers. They are neither terminating decimals nor repeating
decimals.

Examples: rr, tlz, ,m, -

Variables and expressions can be used to determine how many plastic

drink bottles must be recycled to make enough carpet for a house.

Example: A home that is "green built" uses many recycled products, including carpet made
from recycled plastic drink bottles. You can determine how many square feet of carpet can be
made from a certain number of plastic drink bottles by using variables, constants, and
expressions.

Simplifv and Evaluate Aleebraic Expressions

ObieCtiVeS:

Translate between words and algebra. Evaluate algebraic expressions.

SPI: 3102.1.3 Apply properties to evaluate expressions, simplify expressions, and justify solutions to
problems.

WhV lgarn this?

Variables and expressions can be used to represent abbreviations or

symbols..

Example: lf you had to write down

a list of items (ex. grocery list, camping list, party list) very

quickly, you would probably use abbreviations or symbols to represent the words on your list.
Today we are going to learn how algebra can represent words and phrases by using variables,
constants, and operation symbols.

To evaluate an expression for a given value, substitute the given value for the variable.

Example 1: Evaluate 7x+ 3, for x -- 5

When simplifying expressions, you can justify each step by using the properties of real numbers.

I fne following properties make it easier

to do mental math.
