1. Locating Numbers on a Number Line with our BBES 3 rd Graders

2. The top number in a fraction is called the numerator. 1313 The bottom number in a fraction is called the denominator. “ D enominator” starts with a “ D ” so look D own at the bottom of the fraction.

3. numerator 5858 denominator

4. The BIG number next a fraction is the WHOLE NUMBER. 1313 8 fraction

5. What is the top number called? 3434 The numerator! What is the bottom number called? The denominator!

6. Name the denominator in this fraction. 2929 9!

7. Name the numerator in this fraction. 1515 1!

8. Name the whole number. 6969 1! 1

9. Name the numerator in this fraction. 2323 2!

10. Name the whole number. 2929 6! 6

11. Name the denominator in this fraction. 7 12 12!

12. Count the spaces between the WHOLE numbers on the number line. 0 1 12 34

13. Now add ONE to that number… 4 + 1 = 5 0 1 12 34

14. That is your denominator! 4 + 1 = 5 0 1 12 34

15. So now just starting counting by 1s, starting with 1. Your WHOLE number will have the same number as the numerator and denominator. 0 1 1515 2525 3535 4545 5

16. Count the spaces between the WHOLE numbers on the number line. What is your denominator? 0 1

17. Is your denominator 9? Let’s see! 0 1 1919 2929 3939 4949 5959 6969 7979 89899 What’s wrong with this? 9/9 should be the second whole number! We forgot to add 1 to our count!

18. That’s better! 0 10 10 1 10 2 10 3 10 4 10 5 10 6 10 7 10 8 10 9 10

20. What is the DENOMINATOR of your fraction? 0 1

21. Count the spaces between the WHOLE numbers on the number line and add 1! 0 1 12

22. So the denominator is 2 + 1 = 3 ! 0 1 12

23. Let’s write in the correct fractions now… 0 1 1313 2323 3

24. What is the DENOMINATOR of your fraction? 0 1

25. First count the spaces in between, and then add 1! 0 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

26. So 15 + 1 = 16! Your denominator is 16! 0 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

27. Now fill in the correct fractions! 0 1

28. Nice work! 0 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 0 16

29. What is the DENOMINATOR of your fraction? 0 1

30. Count up the spaces in between the whole numbers… 0 1 1 2 3 Now add 1! So 3 + 1 = 4 !

31. Fill in the fractions! 0 1 1 2 3 4 4 4 4 0404

32. It doesn’t matter if the WHOLE NUMBERS are 0 and 1…. They might be 2 & 3! 2 3

33. You still count the spaces and add 1… 2 3 12

34. (2 + 1 = 3 is the denominator!) 2 3 12

35. But you add the WHOLE NUMBER in front of the fractions! 2 3 1313 2323 2 2

36. The whole numbers might be 7 & 8! 7 8

37. You still count the spaces and add 1! 7 8 1 23 3 + 1 = 4 is the denominator!

38. Is this correct? 7 8 1414 What did I forget? 2424 3434

39. 7 8 1414 I forget the WHOLE NUMBERS! 2424 3434 Let’s fix it together! 7 77

41. First find the denominator of your fractions. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Count the spaces and add 1! 7 + 1 = 8 is your denominator!

42. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Now fill in your fractions! 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 0808

43. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next, correctly fill in the answers for the fractions at which A, B, C, and D are marked. 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 0808 5858 7878 1818 3838

44. First find the denominator of your fractions. Count the spaces and add 1! 4 + 1 = 5 is your denominator! 1 2 3 4

45. Now fill in your fractions! 1 2 3 4 5 5 5 5 0505 5

46. Finally, correctly fill in the answers for the fractions at which A, B, C, and D are marked. 1 2 3 4 5 5 5 5 0505 5 2525 4545 3535 1515

47. First find the denominator of your fractions. Count the spaces and add 1! 11 + 1 = 12 is your denominator! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

48. Now fill in your fractions! 12 0 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12

49. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Finally, correctly fill in the answers for the fractions at which A, B, C, and D are marked. 12 0 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 5 12 11 12 10 12 9 12
