Strategies/Methodology Resources Used Extended Activities

Period 01 Introduction
Teacher will do pk testing by asking following questions
[Link] are natural numbers?
[Link] are integers?
[Link] many numbers are there between 1 and 2?
Rational number:The numbers in the form p/q , q=!0
Are called Rational numbers.
Examples -⅔ ,½ 3/2 are rational numbers.

Positive rational numbers: If both numerator and denominator are positive or

both are negative,it is positive rational number.
Ex ⅔ ,(-2/-3),⅘ etc.
Negative rational number: if either numerator or denominator is negative,it is
negative rational number.
Ex (-2)/3,3/(-5) etc.

Standard form of rational number

p/q is standard form if denominator is positive and 1 is only common factor
between p and q.
Example ½ ,-⅗ etc.

Representation of rational number on number line

Ex : represent 5/3 on number line.

Draw number line and mark zero .Now represent integer 5 on it

Divide the line segment 0 to 5 in 3 equal parts then first point A represent 5/3

Development
Teacher will ask the following questions to students
[Link] is standard form of 60/100
2. Which no. Is not rational number and why
0/2 , -⅔ 10/2 2/0
3. Represent ⅖ on number line

Summation at the end of period teacher will revise the topic taught in class and
give assignment of questions for homework.

Period 02 Introduction
Comparison of rational number
(a)​ Using number line : the number on right side is always greater than
number on left side of number line.
for example
In given number line ½ point is on left side and 5/4 on right,so 5/4 is greater than
½

(b)​using equivalent fraction

(i) when two rational number having equal positive denominator
a/b= c/b if a=c
a/b>c/b if a>c
a/b<c/b if a<c
(ii) when rational number have different positive denominator
a/b = c/d if ad=bc
a/b>c/d if ad>bc
a/b<c/d if ad<bc

Rational Numbers between 2 Rational numbers

There is no whole number between 3 and 4
But there are infinite rational numbers between 3 and 4

Method to find rational numbers between 2 rational numbers

(a)​To find n rational numbers between two rational numbers having same
denominator we multiply both numerator and denominator by (n+1)
(b)​In case of different denominators first we will make the denominator same.

Example : insert 7 rational numbers between ⅕ and ⅘

To insert 7 rational number between given numbers multiply both numerator and
denominator by 7+1= 8
⅕= (1×8)/(5×8)= 8/40 , ⅘= 4×8/5×8= 32/40
So,9/40,10/40,11/40,12/40,13/40,15/40 are 7 rational number between ⅕ and ⅘

Development
Teacher will ask the following questions to students
[Link] one is greater 3/7 or 7/15?
[Link] in ascending order 5/11,-⅓,⅖,3/7
[Link] 5 rational numbers between 4 and 5

Summation : teacher will revise the topics taught and give questions for
homework.
Period 03 Introduction
Addition of Rational numbers
Steps
(a)​ Convert rational number into positive denominator rational number.
(b)​If denominator are equal we add their numerators and keep the
denominator same for example ⅔+4/3= 6/3= 2
(c)​If denominators are different we change into equivalent rational number
with same denominator and use step (b)
example : add ⅘ and ⅜
LCM of denominators (5,8) = 40
⅘=(4×8)/(5×8)= 32/40
⅜=(3×5)/(8×5)= 15/40
⅘+⅜= 32/40+15/40= 47/40

Additive inverse: additive inverse of a rational number is another rational

number which when added to given number,the sum becomes zero.
For example
7/3 + (-7/3)= 0

Subtraction of rational number

Method - first do the denominator same(if different) by taking LCM of all
denominators and converting to equivalent fraction having denominator as LCM.
The solve numerators by keeping denominator same.
Example
Subtract ⅘-⅖
Denominators are already same
So solve the numerators and keep the denominator same.
(4-2)/5 =⅖
Example 2
4/6- 3/12
Now denominators are different so,take the LCM of denominator
LCM of 6,12= 12
Now do the denominator same as LCM
4/6= (4×2)/(6×2)=8/12
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12

Development
[Link] the following numbers
(a)⅚+⅗
(b)6/8+⅜
[Link] the additive inverse of
(a)⅚
(b)-⅞
[Link] 5/4 from 7/6
Summation
 At end of topic teacher will revise the concept again and give questions for
homework.

Period 04 Introduction
Multiplication of rational number
Method :
[Link] numerators.
[Link] denominator.
[Link] the product in simplest form.
Example
(-⅘ × ⅔ ) = (-4×2)/(5×3)
=-8/15
If numbers are in mixed fraction then first convert to improper and solve.
Example

Reciprocal of a number
Reciprocal of a number is obtained by Interchanging numerator and
denominator.
Example reciprocal of ⅔= 3/2
In general reciprocal of a/b = b/a,where b is not equal to 0,
Note : reciprocal of 0 is not defined.

Development

[Link] ¾ and ⅚
[Link] 15/12 and -14/5
[Link] the reciprocal of -6/7
Summation : teacher will revise the concept again and give questions for
homework.
Period 05 Introduction
Teacher will ask the following questions
1.​ What is the value of 6÷3?
2.​ What is reciprocal of –5/4
3.​ How to divide 2 by ¾?

Division of the rational numbers

Method
(a/b)÷(c/d)= (a/b)× reciprocal of c/d
= (a/b)×(d/c)
First number ÷second number = first number × reciprocal of second number
Example
Divide 4/7÷ 8/7
= 4/7 × reciprocal of 8/7
= 4/7 ×7/8
= (4×7)/(7×8) = 28/56= ½

Note!
1. Recall that the quotient is negative if either of the operands is negative and it
is positive if both the operands are of the same sign.

(-) ÷ (+) = (-),

(+) ÷ (-) = (-),
(+) ÷ (+) = +,
(-) ÷ (-) = (+).

2. Mixed numbers should be converted to improper fractions before dividing.

3. Write the answer in simplest form and a mixed number, if the product is an
improper fraction.

Development
[Link] the quotient -⅚ ÷ -⅘
[Link] reciprocal of |-7/6|.
[Link] which number 6/7 should be divided to get 4/9.

Summation
Period 06 Introduction

Decimal representation of rational numbers

Any rational number is in the form of a/b where b not equal to zero
So we can easily convert into decimal form by dividing a by b or dividing
numerator by the denominator.

Rational numbercan either be

1.​ Terminating decimal - when the division stops or when we get 0 in the
remainder then quotient is terminating decimal.
2.​ Non terminating but repeating decimal (recurring)
Example 10/3= 3.333… and so on.

To convert negative rational numbers into decimal first simply divide and put
negative sign in the quotient.
Example = -⅝ convert to decimal
⅝ =0.625, so -⅝= -0.625
If we have repeating decimal part we will put bar to represent it
Example –
0.333…= 0.3

Development
[Link] are rational numbers in terms of decimal numbers?
Q2 convert to decimal
-6/7
[Link] the as decimal correct to 3 decimal places.
-23/7

Summation : at end of topic teacher will revise the concept and ask some oral
questions.
Closure Teacher will ask the following questions
[Link] in standard form 36/(-24)
[Link] if the rational numbers are equivalent or not
⅝ and 10/16
[Link] -7/4 ___ -6/7
[Link] in ascending order
¼,3/6,-4/3,-2/6,5/24
[Link] the sum -⅚ + (-⅞)
[Link] -24/75 by 25/12
[Link] 12/15 by -75/36
[Link] -21/30 into decimal

Reflection :
Students may face difficulty to compare the numbers , ordering of rational number.
