Exploring Fractions Greater Than 1 on a Number Line

The video tutorial for third graders focuses on identifying fractions greater than one using a number line. The teacher guides students through finding denominators and writing fractions for different sections of the number line, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the segment from zero to one. Various examples are provided with denominators of 2, 3, 4, and 6, demonstrating how to count spaces and write corresponding fractions. The tutorial concludes with a review of the concepts covered.
