Activity Overview
In this activity students explore decimal approximations to sequences of continued square-roots. Students identify which patterns will approximate to integer results.
Objectives
- Use recursive techniques
- Use nested square-roots
- Identify Irrational numbers
Vocabulary
- Irrational
- Rational
- Recursive
About the Lesson
Students explore decimal approximations through sequences of continued square-roots and identify which continued square-roots result in integers.
