Finding Proper Fractions on Number Lines

The video tutorial explains how to find fractions on number lines. It begins with an introduction to number lines and the concept of fractions, including numerators and denominators. The tutorial then provides step-by-step instructions for locating specific fractions, such as 3/4, 2/5, and 2/3, on a number line. Each example demonstrates how to divide the number line into equal parts based on the denominator and count the parts according to the numerator. The video concludes by reinforcing the ease of finding fractions on number lines.
