Identifying Improper Fractions on a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to identify improper fractions on a number line by dividing it into equal parts. It begins with an introduction to fractions using a candy bar example, explaining numerators and denominators. The tutorial then demonstrates counting fractions on a number line divided into thirds and identifying improper fractions. It includes solving problems with missing fractions and applying fractions to real-world scenarios, such as calculating walking distances.

What is the denominator in a fraction used for?

• To represent the size of each part

• To denote the number of whole units

• To show the total number of parts in the whole

• To indicate the number of parts we are considering

What is an improper fraction?

• A fraction with a denominator of one

• A fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator
