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.

• Identify the whole numbers.

What does the number of spaces between 0 and 1 represent?

• Numerator

• Whole number

• Improper fraction

• Denominator

After finding the denominator by counting spaces between 0 and 1, what's the next step?

• Identify the largest number.

• Divide the number line into equal parts.

• Count the sticks after zero for the numerator.

• Count the whole numbers.

How do you find the numerator for a fraction on a number line?

• Count the spaces between 0 and 1.

• Divide the number line into equal parts.

• Count the sticks after zero until the fraction's position.

• Count all the numbers.

What fraction is represented by 5 sticks after zero with 8 spaces between 0 and 1?

• 5/8

• 8/5

• 1/2

• 3/4

What is 2/3 represented on a number line with 3 spaces between 0 and 1?

• Three spaces after two

• Two sticks after zero

• Three sticks after one

• Two spaces after zero

What is the equivalent of 3 sixths on a number line?

• 1/2

• 2/3

• 3/4

• 6/3

If a number line goes beyond 1, how do you find a fraction larger than 1?

• Use the total number of sticks as the numerator.

• Only count spaces between 0 and 1 for the denominator.

• Ignore the whole numbers.

• Count all spaces as the denominator.

How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed number on a number line?

• Jump to the whole number before the fraction.

• Divide the numerator by the denominator.

• Count the whole numbers separately.

• Add the whole numbers to the fraction.

What fraction is represented by 8 sticks after zero with 3 spaces between 0 and 1?

• 3/2

• 8/3

• 3/8

• 2 2/3
