What to Focus On
- Every natural number is a whole number, integer, and rational number
- Every whole number is an integer and rational number
- Every integer is a rational number
- Standard form has positive denominator and no common factors
- For operations with different denominators, find LCM or cross-multiply
- Division by a fraction means multiplication by its reciprocal
- Terminating decimals have denominators with only factors 2 and/or 5
- Bar notation shows repeating digits: 0.3̄ means 0.333...
- Every rational number is either terminating or repeating decimal
Common Mistakes to Avoid
All terminating decimals are rational, but non-terminating decimals are irrational
When converting repeating decimals to fractions, multiply by 10 regardless of how many digits repeat
√a + √b = √(a+b) and similar wrong algebraic rules for surds
