Algebra is in full swing!
Today we learned about the Real Number System and Absolute Values.
To help us remember the real number categories...
Mrs. McCabe sang us a song.
There was a real lady who swallowed a NAT
I don't know why she swallowed a NAT
Perhaps she'll fall flat.
There was a real lady who swallowed a WHOLE
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled her soul.
She swallowed the WHOLE to catch the NAT
I don't know why she swallowed a NAT
Perhaps she'll fall flat.
There was a real lady who swallowed an INTEGER
Oh what a stir, to swallow an INTEGER.
She swallowed the INTEGER to catch the WHOLE
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled her soul.
She swallowed the WHOLE to catch the NAT
I don't know why she swallowed the NAT
Perhaps she'll fall flat.
There was a real lady who swallowed a RAT (rational)
Imagine that! To swallow a RAT.
She swallowed the RAT to catch the INTEGER
Oh what a stir, to swallow an INTEGER.
She swallowed the INTEGER to catch the WHOLE
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled her soul.
She swallowed the WHOLE to catch the NAT
I don't know why she swallowed the NAT
Perhaps she'll fall flat.
There was a real lady who swallowed an IRR (irrational)
Oh my dear! It isn't clear...
She fell on her rear!
