Here’s a breakdown of how to explain these mathematical
concepts to Intermediate Phase learners:
1.1. Difference Between Real and Non-Real Numbers (8 marks)
Explanation:
Real Numbers: Real numbers are numbers that can be
found on the number line. They include all the numbers
we use daily, like counting numbers, fractions, and
decimals.
o Examples: 7, -3, 2.5
Non-Real Numbers: These are numbers that cannot be
found on the number line. They often involve square roots
of negative numbers, which are called imaginary numbers.
, o Examples: √(-1), √(-4)
Intermediate Phase Language: “Imagine drawing a number
line. Real numbers are all the numbers you can place on that
line, like 2 or -3. But some numbers can’t be put on the line
because they involve the square root of negative numbers,
which are called non-real or imaginary numbers.”
1.2. Difference Between Rational and Irrational Numbers (8
marks)
Explanation:
Rational Numbers: Rational numbers are numbers that
can be written as a fraction where both the numerator and
denominator are integers (whole numbers). The
denominator cannot be zero.
o Examples: 1/2, 3, 0.75
Irrational Numbers: Irrational numbers cannot be written
as a simple fraction. Their decimal forms are non-repeating
and never-ending.
o Examples: √2, π (Pi)
Intermediate Phase Language: “A rational number is like when
you can break something down into a simple fraction or a
number with a repeating or ending decimal, like 0.5 (which is
the same as 1/2). An irrational number is when the decimals
keep going forever without repeating, like the number Pi (π).”
1.3. Four Special Facts About Zero (8 marks)
