Extending Fraction Patterns Using a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to extend fraction patterns using a number line. It begins with an introduction to patterns and their rules, followed by a review of how to extend patterns by applying these rules. The tutorial demonstrates using a number line to visualize and extend fraction patterns, emphasizing the importance of identifying the rule governing the pattern. The lesson concludes with a practical example of extending a pattern using a number line, highlighting the step-by-step process and the significance of understanding the pattern's rule.
