    The document discusses classifying different types of real numbers. It defines natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers. Natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, etc. Whole numbers include 0 and all natural numbers. Integers include all whole numbers and their negatives. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as fractions, including integers and repeating decimals. Irrational numbers are real numbers that cannot be written as fractions, such as the square root of 2. A chart shows how the different number sets are related and included within one another.

    Taking into account the irrational numbers and the real numbers, our
    classification might look like this: 

    Figure %: Classification of Numbers 
    If a number falls into a category, it also falls into all the categories below
    that category to which it is connected by a line. For example, ­7 is an
    integer, so it is also a rational and a real number. The square root of 2
    is an irrational number, so it is also a real number.

    Keep your notes and complete the 
    "Sets of Real Numbers" paper for 
    homework.  You may need to look at 
    your notes to label the number with 
    the correct set.  Remember, many 
    numbers are part of more than one 
    number set.
