We
will use the TI Voyage 200 calculator to investigate rational
approximations to the irrational numbers. We will investigate why 22/7 is
used to approximate pi and why the golden ratio is the most unrational
irrational number. If time permits, we might even discuss how technology
can help students to build the understanding needed to prove classes of numbers
are irrational.
