Visualizing Fractions on a Line

The video tutorial explains how to use a number line to understand fractions. It begins with dividing a line into halves, then progresses to fourths, thirds, and sixths, illustrating how each fraction represents a part of the whole. The tutorial also highlights the concept of equivalent fractions, such as 3/6 being equal to 1/2. The video concludes with a review and questions to reinforce the learning objectives.

What does the line represent when we place a zero at the left end and a one at the right end?

How can you locate the point that represents 1/4 of the distance on the line?

What can we conclude about the sum of all fractions on the line?

What happens when you divide the line into 6 equal parts?

Explain the relationship between three sixths and one half on the line.
