Understanding Fractions on a Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to plot fractions on a number line using the unit length from zero to one. It covers plotting one-half by dividing the unit into two equal parts, two-thirds by dividing into three equal parts, and five-fourths by extending beyond one and dividing into four equal parts. The tutorial emphasizes understanding fractions as parts of a whole and introduces the concept of mixed numbers.
