0 1 What happens when they are not whole numbers? Label 0.25 as point L #1

0 1 Could we label it in a different way? Label 3/4 as point M #1

In your math journal… To label a number line with fractions… – Find 2 consecutive whole numbers (hopefully 0 and 1) – The spaces between them becomes your denominator – As you move to the right add 1 for each numerator – As you move to the left subtract 1 for each numerator

0 1 2 Here’s a new one Label 1.5 as point C #3

0 1 2 Could we label it a different way? Label 3_1/2 as point J #3

What about negatives? Label 2.5 as point G #3

0 1 What about this one? Label 0.8 as point H #3

0 1 Could we label it a different way? Label 4/10 as point T #3
