CCSS Description: Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram. a. Represent a fraction 1/b on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into b equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1/b and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1/b on the number line.b. Represent a fraction a/b on a number line diagram by marking off a lengths 1/b from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size a/b and that its endpoint locates the number a/b on the number line.
This worksheet is designed to get learners thinking about the positions of proper fractions on a 0 to 1 number line. They will need to use the related fraction given to position another along with considering the position of 1. Section A asks them to place a proper fraction and 1 given the position of the unit fraction with the same denominator. Section B then provides a proper fraction for learners to place the unit fraction and 1. Sections C and D then extend learners' thinking by using equivalent fractions and by providing fractions with a denominator, which is a factor or multiple of the one they need to place.
