Today we will identify fractions on a number line.
A number line and a ruler are very much alike
On a ruler, each inch is considered one whole inch One Inch Two Inches Three Inches Nine whole inches
The marks in between the whole inches are fractions of an inch ½ Inch 2 ¾ Inches 7 ¼ inches
Number lines are read the same way. The Numbers are read as whole numbers. The marks in between are read as fractions
There are three steps to reading fractions on a number line Step One- Start on the whole number and Jump to the next whole number. That is your denominator. Step Two- Jump, starting at the first whole number. Stop at the point you are naming. This is the Numerator
What fraction represents the letter A. B. 0 1 AB Step One- Start on the whole number and Jump to the next whole number. That is your denominator. Step Two- Jump, starting at the first whole number. Stop at the point you are naming. This is the Numerator.
There is only a step three if the fraction is past a whole number. Step One- Start on the whole number and Jump to the next whole number. That is your denominator. Step Two- Jump, starting at the first whole number. Stop at the point you are naming. This is the Numerator
Mixed number fractions Step One-Start on the whole number and Jump to the next whole number. That is your denominator
Mixed number fractions Step Two- Jump, starting at the first whole number. Stop at the point you are naming. This is the Numerator
Mixed number fractions Step Three- Write the whole number as a whole number beside the fraction
