Exploring Fractions on a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches students how to find fractions on a number line. It covers the basic steps of identifying the denominator by counting spaces between 0 and 1, and finding the numerator by counting the sticks after 0. The tutorial includes examples of simple fractions less than 1, as well as more challenging fractions greater than 1, which are converted to improper fractions or mixed numbers. Students are encouraged to pause the video to solve problems and reflect on their understanding.

What is the first step in finding a fraction on a number line?

• Count the spaces between 0 and 1.

• Count the sticks after zero.

• Find the largest number on the number line.
