Subsets of real numbers
- 1. Subsets of Real Numbers Reference: DepEd Mathematics Learner’s Material
- 2. Describe, represent and compare the different subsets of real number system. Objective
- 3. Try to reflect on these . . . It is difficult for us to realize that once upon a time there were no symbols or names for numbers. In the early days, primitive man showed how many animals he owned by placing an equal number of stones in a pile, or sticks in a row. Truly our number system evolved over hundreds of years. Activity1
- 4. 1. In what ways do you think did primitive man need to use numbers? 2. Why do you think he needed names or words to tell “how many”? 3. How did number symbols come about? 4. What led man to invent numbers, words and symbols? Sharing Ideas! What do you think?
- 5. LOOK AROUND! Fifteen different words/partitions of numbers are hidden in this puzzle. How many can you find? Look up, down, across, backward, and diagonally. Activity 2
- 6. Determine what set of numbers will represent the following situations: 1. Finding out how many notebooks are there in a bag. 2. Corresponds to no more guavas inside the basket 3. Describing the temperature in the North Pole Activity 3
- 7. 4. Representing the amount of money each member gets when P200 prize is divided among 3 members 5. Finding the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle, denoted π (read “pi”)
- 8. Early Years... 1. What subset of real numbers do children learn at an early stage when they were just starting to talk? Give examples. Let's talk about the various subsets of real numbers.
- 9. In School at an Early Phase... 2. What do you call the subset of real numbers that includes zero (the number that represents nothing) and is combined with the subset of real numbers learned in the early years? Give examples.
- 10. Still in School at Middle Period... 3. What do you call the subset of real numbers that includes negative numbers (that came from the concept of “opposites” and specifically used in describing debt or below zero temperature) and is united with the whole numbers? Give examples.
- 11. Still in School at Middle Period... 4. What do you call the subset of real numbers that includes integers and nonintegers and are useful in representing concepts like “half a gallon of milk”? Give examples. 5. What do you call the subset of real numbers that is not a rational number but are physically represented like “the diagonal of a square”?
- 12. Important Terms to Remember: The following are terms that you must remember from this point on. 1. Natural/Counting Numbers – are the numbers we use in counting things, that is {1, 2, 3, 4,... }. The three dots, called ellipses, indicate that the pattern continues indefinitely. 2. Whole Numbers – are numbers consisting of the set of natural or counting numbers and zero. 3. Integers – are the result of the union of the set of whole numbers and the negative of counting numbers.
- 13. 4. Rational Numbers – are numbers that can be expressed as a quotient of two integers. The integer a is the numerator while the integer b, which cannot be 0 is the denominator. This set includes fractions and some decimal numbers. 5. Irrational Numbers – are numbers that cannot be expressed as a quotient of two integers. Every irrational number may be represented by a decimal that neither repeats nor terminates. 6. Real Numbers – are any of the numbers from the preceding subsets. They can be found on the real number line. The union of rational numbers and irrational numbers is the set of real numbers.
