From lengths to real straight line

The real ones bring together the rational and the irrational. Using naturals with zero, we have ℕ ⊂ ℤ ⊂ ℚ ⊂ ℝ. Irrationals, like √2 and π, also belong to ℝ, but not to ℚ.

Trail What to explore First step
🌱 Elementary I · 1st to 5th year Measures, decimals and concrete data Discover
🚀 Elementary II · 6th to 9th grade Rational, irrational, approximations and equations Enlarge the line
🎓 High School · 1st to 3rd grade Sets, ranges, functions and statistics Deep deeper

The levels suggest a reading order. Come back to review when you need to. Probability and statistics are complementary applications: the study of reality also helps to interpret measurements and data.

How to study: observe a situation, represent it, explain the reasoning and check the challenges.
