What you'll learn
- Identify rational numbers (fractions, decimals, and integers) on a number line.
- Order a set of at least five rational numbers (including positive and negative fractions and decimals) from least to greatest with 80% accuracy.
- Explain the strategy used to compare and order rational numbers, including the use of common denominators or equivalent decimals.
- Apply the concept of ordering rational numbers to solve real-world problems, such as comparing temperatures or distances, and justify the solution.

Key Concepts & Vocabulary
TermDefinitionExample
SetA collection of distinct objects or elements, usually enclosed in curly braces {}.The set of primary colors is {red, yellow, blue}.
Universal Set (U)The set containing all possible elements under consideration for a specific problem. In a Venn diagram, it is represented by a rectangle.If discussing grades in a math class, the Universal Set is all the students in that class.
Intersection (A ∩ B)The set of elements that are in BOTH set A AND set B. This is the overlapping area of the circles in a Venn diagram.If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {3, 4, 5, 6}, then A ∩ B = {3, 4}.
Union (A ∪ B)The set of elements that are in set A OR set B, or in both. This includes all areas covered by the circles.If A = {1, 2} and B = {2, 3}, then A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3}.

Core Formulas
Inclusion-Exclusion Principle (Two Sets)
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
To find the total number of elements in the union of two sets, add the number of elements in each set and subtract the number of elements in their intersection. This avoids double-counting the elements that are in both sets.
Inclusion-Exclusion Principle (Three Sets)
n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A ∩ B) - n(A ∩ C) - n(B ∩ C) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C)
For three sets, add the sizes of the individual sets, subtract the sizes of all pairwise intersections, and then add back the size of the three-way intersection.
Complement Rule
n(A') = n(U) - n(A)
The number of elements not in set A is equal to the total number of elements in the universal set minus the number of elements that are in set A.
