Classifying Numbers

Classifying the different types of real numbers

QuestionAnswer
Real Numbers All numbers that we deal with in Algebra are real numbers.
Rational Numbers Rational numbers are any number that can be written as a fraction. It includes positive and negative numbers, and any decimal that either terminates or repeats. (Ex. -2, 3.232323..., 7/8)
Irrational Numbers Irrational numbers are decimals that do not terminate and do not repeat. (Ex. pi, 3.1289368342...)
Integers Integers include positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero. Integers do not have a fraction or decimal part. (Ex. -4, 0, 2, 5)
Whole Numbers Whole Numbers include the positive integers and zero. (Ex. 0, 1, 2, 3...)
Natural Numbers Natural Numbers (also known as Counting Numbers) include only the positive integers. (Ex. 1, 2, 3, 4...)
Identity Property of Addition Adding zero to any number return the same number. a + 0 = a The ADDITIVE IDENTITY is 0
Identity Property of Multiplication Multiplying any number by 1 returns the same number. a * 1 = a The MULTIPLICATIVE IDENTITY is 1
Inverse Property of Addition A number plus its opposite is 0. a + -a = 0
Inverse Property of Addition A number multiplied by its reciprocal is 1. a * (1/a) = 1
Commutative Property of Addition When adding, the order is not important. a + b = b + a
Commutative Property of Multiplication When multiplying, the order is not important. ab = ba
Associative Property of Addition When adding, the grouping is not important. a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
Associative Property of Multiplication When multiplying, the order is not important. a(bc) = (ab)c

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
