About this worksheet

Kinds of numbers: whole, integer, fraction. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can name the smallest group a number belongs to: whole numbers, integers, or fractions (rational numbers).
  • I can tell what a number is from its value, not from how it is written: 12/4 and 5.0 are whole numbers.

Standard: state-only (CCSS 8.NS.A.1 rational and irrational)

Words to know

whole number: 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. No fractions, nothing left of 0.

integer: A whole number, its opposite, or 0: ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...

fraction (rational number): Any number you can write as a fraction of two integers, like 3/4, 0.6 or -5.

group: A set of numbers that share a rule, like the whole numbers.

smallest group: The group with the fewest numbers that still holds the number.

value: How much a number is, however it is written: 12/4 has the value 3.

Common mistakes

Your child put a negative number in the whole numbers, for example -8.

Your child judged a number by how it is written, for example calling 12/4 a fraction and not a whole number.

Your child left negative numbers out of the integers.

What to say

Ask: do whole numbers go to the left of 0 on a number line?

Ask: what is 12 divided by 4?

Ask: is -5 an integer? Where does it sit on the number line?
