Sorting Rational and Irrational Numbers #2

Test your knowledge of rational and irrational numbers with this enriching worksheet! Young mathematicians will determine whether each number is rational—meaning a number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers with a nonzero denominator—or irrational. As the second installment in this series, this activity will continue to strengthen classroom knowledge.

This sorting activity provides eighth-grade students with an opportunity to apply their understanding of rational and irrational numbers to a simple task. Once students can identify between these two kinds of numbers, they can advance to performing algebraic operations with them.
