What to Focus On

  • A rational number has the form p/q.
  • p and q must be co-prime integers.
  • q cannot be 0.

  • Standard form needs a positive denominator.
  • The numerator and denominator must be co-prime.
  • 3/4 is in standard form.

  • Zero is the starting point on the number line.
  • Right side shows positive numbers.
  • Left side shows negative numbers.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any fraction with integers in the numerator and denominator is a rational number, even if the numerator and denominator are not co-prime.

Zero is a positive rational number because it is not negative.

A rational number must always have positive numerator and denominator.
