Plotting Improper Fractions on a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to identify improper fractions on a number line by dividing it into equal parts. It uses examples like a candy bar divided into thirds to explain the concept of fractions, focusing on the roles of numerators and denominators. The tutorial also covers counting fractions on a number line and solving problems involving missing fractions. Additionally, it applies these concepts to real-world scenarios, such as calculating distance walked, to reinforce understanding.
