Identifying Equivalent Fractions on a Number Line

The video tutorial guides students through the process of tracing and labeling a number line, placing unit fractions, and understanding the concept of equivalent fractions. It begins with drawing a number line and labeling endpoints, followed by placing unit fractions like thirds, fifths, and sixths. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of correctly aligning fractions and identifying equivalent fractions by comparing their positions on the number line.

What is the first step in drawing a number line?

• Placing unit fractions

• Counting the fractions

• Tracing the hole

• Labeling the endpoints

Where should you start placing the unit fraction 1/3 on the number line?

• At the endpoint 1

• At the endpoint 0

• In the middle of 0 and 1

• At the endpoint 2

What is the equivalent of 1 whole in terms of thirds?

• 2/3

• 1/3

• 3/3

• 4/3

Which fraction is not equivalent to 3/5?

• 1/5

• 5/5

• 2/5

• 4/5

Where should you start placing the unit fraction 1/6 on the number line?

• On the line of 1/2

• On the line of 1/6

• On the line of 1/3

• On the line of 1/5

What is the equivalent of 6/6?

• 5/6

• 2/6

• 1/6

• 1 whole

Which fractions are equivalent on the number line?

• 3/5 and 4/5

• 2/6 and 1/3

• 1/3 and 1/5

• 1/6 and 1/5

Why are some fractions considered equivalent on the number line?

• They have the same numerator

• They have the same denominator

• They cover the same distance

• They are placed at the same point
