8.NS.A.2

Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers by locating them approximately on a number line diagram. Estimate the value of irrational expressions (such as π^2 ). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.
