Root spiral math. By using this concept we will represent irrational numbers on a number line by paper folding. Materials required adhesive geometry box marker a piece of plywood prerequisite knowledge concept of number line. Prerequisite knowledge in a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Along with that the spiral rings gives you the universal set of real.
