CHAPTER 1.1REAL RATIONAL NUMBERS

(as opposed to fake numbers?)

and PropertiesPart 1 (introduction)

STANDARD: AF 1.3 Apply algebraic order of operations and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to

evaluate expressions: and justify each step in the process.

Student Objective: • Students will apply order of operations to solve problems with rational numbers and apply their properties, by performing the correct operations, using math facts skills, writing reflective summaries, and scoring 80% proficiency

Set A collection of objects.

Essential Questions:

• How do you know if a number is a rational number?

• What are the properties used to evaluate rational numbers?

Two Kinds of Real Numbers

• Rational Numbers

• Irrational Numbers

Rational Numbers

• A rational number is a real number that can be written as a ratio of two integers.

• A rational number written in decimal form is terminating or repeating.

EXAMPLES OF RATIONAL NUMBERS161/23.56-81.3333…-3/4

Irrational Numbers

• An irrational number is a number that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers.

• Irrational numbers written as decimals are non-terminating and non-repeating.

• Square roots of non-perfect “squares”

• Pi- īī

Biologists classify animals based on shared characteristics. The horned lizard is an animal, a reptile, a lizard, and a gecko. Rational Numbers are classified this way as well!

ReminderReminder

• Real numbers are all the positive, negative, fraction, and decimal numbers you have heard of.

• They are also called Rational Numbers.

• IRRATIONAL NUMBERS are usually decimals that do not terminate or repeat. They go on forever.

• Examples: π

Properties

A property is something that is true for all situations.

Four Properties

1. Distributive

2. Commutative

3. Associative

4. Identity properties of one and zero

We commutewhen we go back and forth

from work to home.

Algebra terms commute

when they trade placesx y

y x

This is a statement of thecommutative property

for addition:

x y y x

It also works for multiplication:

xy yx

Distributive Property

A(B + C) = AB + BC

4(3 + 5) = 4x3 + 4x5

Commutative Propertyof addition and multiplication

Order doesn’t matter

A x B = B x A

A + B = B + A

To associate with someone means that we like to

be with them.

The tiger and the pantherare associating with eachother.

They are leaving thelion out.

( )

In algebra:

( )x y z

The panther has decided tobefriend the lion.

The tiger is left out.

( )

In algebra:

( )x y z

This is a statement of theAssociative Property:

( ) ( )x y z x y z

The variables do not change their order.

The Associative Propertyalso works for multiplication:

( ) ( )xy z x yz

Associative Property of multiplication and Addition

Associative Property (a · b) · c = a · (b · c)

Example: (6 · 4) · 3 = 6 · (4 · 3)

Associative Property (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

Example: (6 + 4) + 3 = 6 + (4 + 3)

The distributive property onlyhas one form.

Not one foraddition . . .and one for

multiplication

. . .because both operations areused in one property.

4(2x+3)=8x+12

This is an exampleof the distributive

property.

8x 124

2x +3

Here is the distributiveproperty using variables:

( )x y z xy xz

xy xz

y +z

x

The identity

property makes

me thinkabout

myidentity.

The identity property for addition asks,

“What can I add to myselfto get myself back again?

_x x0

The above is the identity propertyfor addition.

_x x0

is the identity elementfor addition.0

The identity property for multiplication

asks, “What can I multiply to myself

to get myself back again?

(_ )x x1

The above is the identity propertyfor multiplication.

1

is the identity elementfor multiplication.1

(_ )x x

Identity Properties

If you add 0 to any number, the number stays the same.

A + 0 = A or 5 + 0 = 5

If you multiply any number times 1, the number stays the same.

A x 1 = A or 5 x 1 = 5

Example 1: Identifying Properties of Addition and Multiplication

Name the property that is illustrated in each equation.

A. (–4) 9 = 9 (–4)

B.

(–4) 9 = 9 (–4) The order of the numbers changed.

Commutative Property of Multiplication

Associative Property of Addition

The factors are grouped differently.
