8.NS Tutor Intake — Irrational Numbers and Rational Approximation

This short check helps your tutor find where to start. Answer each question without help — no calculator unless a problem says otherwise. If you're not sure, give your best try; the goal is to find what to work on together, not to grade you.

Procedures

Use rational approximations to compare $\sqrt{10}$ and $\pi$ .
You may use $\pi \approx 3.14159$ . Which statement is true?

$\sqrt{10} > \pi$

$\sqrt{10} < \pi$

$\sqrt{10} = \pi$

They are too close to compare — both round to $3.1$ .
