Showing Unit Fractions on a Number Line

The video tutorial explains how to represent unit fractions using a number line. It begins with an introduction to fractions using a pizza as an example, highlighting the concepts of numerator and denominator. The tutorial then uses a ruler to demonstrate how fractions can be represented between whole numbers. It further explains how to divide a number line into equal parts to show fractions, using the example of dividing a licorice stick among friends. The lesson emphasizes understanding fractions as equal parts of a whole and how to accurately represent them on a number line.

What does the numerator in a fraction represent?
