CCSS Description: 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.
Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
This worksheet is designed to give your learners familiarity with number lines split into equal increments and fraction labels. Section A begins the task by asking learners to count the sections and label the number line from 0 to 1 with the appropriate fractions. Section B then provides some number lines with some fraction labels and boxes to fill in. Section C asks learners to draw and label their own number lines from 0 to 2 for a given denominator. Section D then introduces equivalent fractions in the same positions on stacked number lines.
