Problem-Solving Tasks
This task is intended for instructional purposes so that students can become familiar and confident with using a calculator and understanding what it can and cannot do. This task gives an opportunity to work on the notion of place value (in parts [b] and [c]) and also to understand part of an argument for why the square root of 2 is not a rational number.
Type: Problem-Solving Task
This task has students experiment with the operations of addition and multiplication, as they relate to the notions of rationality and irrationality.
