Unit Fractions on the Number Line

The video tutorial explains unit fractions, using examples like cake and balls to illustrate 1/4 and 1/6. It demonstrates how to represent these fractions on a number line, showing the process of dividing a whole into equal parts and locating the fractions. The lesson concludes with a summary of representing unit fractions on the number line.

What is a unit fraction?

• A fraction that is greater than 1

• A fraction that represents a whole number

• A fraction with a denominator of 1

• A fraction with a numerator of 1

If a cake is divided into four equal parts, what fraction does each part represent?

• 1/2

• 1/3

• 1/4

• 1/5

How do you locate 1/4 on a number line?

• Divide the space between 0 and 2 into three equal parts and locate the first part

• Divide the space between 0 and 1 into three equal parts and locate the first part

• Divide the space between 0 and 2 into four equal parts and locate the first part

• Divide the space between 0 and 1 into four equal parts and locate the first part

What is the first step in locating 1/6 on a number line?

• Divide the space between 0 and 2 into six equal parts

• Divide the space between 0 and 1 into three equal parts

• Divide the space between 0 and 1 into six equal parts

• Divide the space between 0 and 2 into three equal parts

Where do you label 1/6 on the number line?

• At the end of the second part after dividing into six equal parts

• At the end of the first part after dividing into six equal parts

• At the end of the first part after dividing into four equal parts

• At the end of the second part after dividing into four equal parts
