Placing Fractions on a Number Line

This video tutorial explains how to locate fractions on a number line. It begins by ensuring the number line is divided into equal parts, matching the denominator of the fractions. The tutorial then demonstrates how to place specific fractions, such as 3/8, 5/8, and 7/8, on the line by counting the segments. Finally, it shows how to fill in the remaining fractions, emphasizing the relationship between the numerator and the number of segments moved along the line.
