* checking of Assignment

B. Development of the Lesson

 a. Motivation

b. Lesson Proper: development

All the numbers inside principal square roots in the clock are all perfect squares
which are equivalent to numbers in a normal clock. Square root of 1,4,9,16… are
rational numbers because they are all perfect square.

All perfect square inside the principal square root are called rational Numbers
a
that can be expressed as .
b
While irrational number is a real number than cannot be expressed as a quotient
of two integers.

Pi, e(Euler’s Number),Golden Ratio and principal roots are famous irrational
numbers.

All principal roots of numbers that cannot be express into quotient of two
integers are all irrational number, it is written as √
n
a

Let use a numberline to approximate between what two integers is a given

principal square root.
❑
√ 1 ❑√ 2 ❑√ 3 ❑√ 4 ❑√9 ❑√ 16 ❑√ 25 ❑√36 ❑√ 49 ❑√64 ❑√81 ❑√100
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 100

Example of irrational Rational

√ 2,
❑
bet 1 and 2 √4 = 2
√ 5,
❑
bet 2 and 3 √ 16 = 4
√4
3
bet 1 and 2 √ 36 =36

c. Exercises
Tell whether the ff principal root is a rational or irrational. Give its equivalent if it is a
rational number and determine between what two integers if it is an irrational.
1. √ 8 2. √ 40 3. √ 49

4. √ 115 5. √ 6 6. √ 27
7. √3 9 8. √ 50

d. Generalization
Irrational numbers are real numbers that cannot be expressed as quotient of two integers
such as Pi, Euler number, Goden ratio and non-perfect principal roots
All principal roots that cannot be expressed into quotient of two integers are all irrational
numbers. We can approximate the value of non-perfect principal root by determining between two
integers.

IV. Assignment
Tell whether the ff principal root is rational or irrational. Simplify if it is rational number and determine between what two
integers if it is irrational
