Using a Number Line To Plot Points and To Drop and Drag Points  Students will work with the teacher as she models how to place points of fractions on a number line. Also the will see how to select points on the number line.  Students and Teachers will work through the exercises at  After the teacher Models the exercises the students will try independently.  Next the teacher will guide students through sample PARCC questions at  Finally, Students will play (take the assessment at compare-fractions-with-like-numerators-on-number-lines ) and the teacher will walk around and do an observational assessment of their application and intervene with struggling students or assign partners to scaffold. Teacher can record scores if needed. compare-fractions-with-like-numerators-on-number-lines  Students will work with the teacher as she models how to place points of fractions on a number line.
