Extending Fraction Patterns Using a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to extend number and fraction patterns using a number line. It begins with an introduction to patterns and their rules, followed by a detailed explanation of fractions on a number line. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of extending patterns by more than one step and demonstrates this using both number and fraction patterns. The use of a number line helps visualize the pattern extension process, highlighting the rules applied, such as adding 1/4 or 1/2 to each step.

What is the rule for the pattern 2, 4, 6, 8?

• Add 1

• Add 2

• Multiply by 2

• Subtract 2

How is the halfway point between 0 and 1 represented on a number line?

• 1

• 1/2

• 1/4

• 3/4

What is a common mistake when extending a pattern?

• Ignoring the rule

• Using a number line

• Adding too many steps

• Stopping after one step

What is the next step in the pattern 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 1?

• 1 and 3/4

• 2

• 1 and 1/2

• 1 and 1/4

What is the rule for the pattern 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2?

• Add 2

• Add 1/4

• Add 1/2

• Add 1

How many steps should you extend a pattern to show it continues?

• At least one step

• At least two steps

• At least four steps

• At least three steps

What is the next number in the pattern 3, 3 1/2, 4?

• 4 1/2

• 4 1/4

• 5

• 5 1/2
