Understanding Fractions as Values Between Zero and One

This video tutorial teaches how to identify and plot fractions as values between zero and one on a number line. It explains the concepts of numerator and denominator, using examples to illustrate how fractions represent parts of a whole. The tutorial demonstrates how to count shaded parts to determine fractions and emphasizes that fractions are values between zero and one when the numerator is smaller than the denominator. It also covers plotting specific fractions on a number line, reinforcing the understanding of fractions as parts of a whole.

What is the role of the numerator in a fraction?

• It represents the total number of parts.

• It is the horizontal line in the fraction.

• It stands for the part of the fraction that is shaded.

• It is always larger than the denominator.

How is a fraction represented on a number line?

• By shading the entire line.

• By dividing the line into equal sections and marking the numerator.

• By marking the whole number only.

• By dividing the line into unequal sections.

What does the denominator indicate in a fraction?

• The number of unshaded parts.

• The total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

• The value of the fraction.

• The number of shaded parts.

When is a fraction considered improper?

• When the numerator is smaller than the denominator.

• When the numerator is equal to the denominator.

• When the numerator is larger than the denominator.

• When the denominator is zero.

What does it mean if all parts on a number line are shaded?

• The fraction is zero.

• The fraction is one whole.

• The fraction is undefined.

• The fraction is improper.
