  • to separate number line into the correct amount of equal pieces, draw one less (lines) than the denominator

  • swoop and count each space as you go

3

Fractions on a Number Line

  • if there are 6 equal spaces, each space the size 1/6

  • if there are 4 equal spaces, each space the size is 1/4

  • if there are 10 equal spaces, each space is the size 1/10

Fractions Equal to 1 Whole

  • when the numerator and denominator are the same, it equals 1 whole

  • example 4/4 = 1

  • example 12/12 = 1

  • Can you another one?

9

Whole Numbers as Fractions

  • You can write a whole number as a fraction, if you put it over one

  • for example 5 is the same as 5/1

  • for example 7 is the same as 7/1

  • This is considered an improper fraction

Fill in the Blank

Write the whole number 9 as an improper fraction.

Improper Fractions

  • If the numerator is larger than the denominator, it is called an improper fraction (it is more than one)

  • 6/5 = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5

  • It takes 5 to get to the whole, one more past the whole (greater than 1)

  • 1 1/5

15

Improper Fractions

  • 4/3 is improper because the numerator is larger than the denominator ( it is more than 1)

  • 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 4/3

  • it takes 3 to get to 1 whole, and 1 more = 1 1/3
