The Concept of Irrational Numbers in High-School Students and Prospective Teachers.
Fischbein, Efraim; And Others
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v29 n1 p29-44 Jul 1995
Investigation of the presence and effect of intuitive obstacles to the concept of irrational number in (n=30) ninth-grade, (n=32) tenth-grade, and (n=29) college students found that only some students manifest genuine intuitive biases. Most students were unable to classify numbers as rational, irrational, and/or real. (Author/MKR)
