Placing Fractions with a Numerator of 1 on a Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to place fractions with a numerator of 1 on a number line by dividing the space between whole numbers into equal parts. It covers the basics of fractions, number lines, and demonstrates how to locate fractions like 1/3 and 1/4 on a number line by breaking the space into equal parts and identifying the correct position based on the numerator and denominator.

What does a fraction represent in terms of a whole?

• A whole number

• A part greater than 1

• Equal parts of a whole

• A number less than 0

How are numbers represented on a number line?

• With varying distances

• In random order

• From largest to smallest

• In equal intervals

What is the significance of equal spacing on a number line?

• It shows random numbers

• It represents different amounts

• It makes the number line uneven

• It ensures each number is equally spaced

What is the first step to locate 1/3 on a number line?

• Shade the entire number line

• Divide the space between 0 and 1 into 3 equal parts

• Count backwards from 1

• Find the space between 1 and 2

What does the numerator in a fraction indicate?

• The total number of parts

• The number of shaded parts

• The whole number

• The number of unshaded parts

How do you determine the location of 1/4 on a number line?

• By dividing the space between 1 and 2 into 4 equal parts

• By shading the entire number line

• By counting from 1 to 4

• By dividing the space between 0 and 1 into 4 equal parts

What does the denominator in a fraction tell us?

• The whole number

• The number of unshaded parts

• The total number of equal parts

• The number of shaded parts
