1. How do you plot √ 2 on a number line?

√2

2. What are your ways / steps in plotting irrational numbers on a number line?

Step 1: Draw the number line

Step 2: Label the number line as with values of the perfect square

Perfect Value
Square
√1 1
√4 2
√9 3
√ 16 4
√ 25 5

Step 3: Determine the irrational number needed to be plotted and plot

For example: Plot √ 5
 √ 5 is greater than √ 4 but less than √ 9 so just focus on the number line between 2 and
3

 √ 5 is closer to √ 4 so it should be plotted nearer to √ 4

√5
