Expressing Whole Numbers as Fractions Using the Number Line (Part 1)

The video tutorial explains how to use a number line to understand fractions as parts of a whole. It begins by dividing a number line from 0 to 1 into two equal parts, showing how fractions like 1/2 and 2/2 are represented. The tutorial then explores the concept of whole fractions, explaining that if the line is not divided, the fraction representing the whole is 1/1. This demonstrates that fractions can represent both parts of a whole and the whole itself.
