Use one or more strategies to compare, order and put multiple fractions on a number line by knowing their value in relation to one another. Generalize to putting any number on a number line, including improper fractions that are greater than 1.
Divide bar models into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and eighths. Draw equal parts in smart ways. Divide halves into halves to make fourths, halves into thirds and thirds into halves to make sixths, and fourths into halves and halves into fourths to make eighths. Shade both contiguous and non-contiguous parts (gaps). Prerequisites: 2-56 ○ 2-53
Show unit fractions on a number line. What's 1/8? It's the length of 1 part – measured as the distance from 0 – when the length 1 is divided into 8 equal parts. Draw a bar to represent the length 1 as the distance between 0 and 1. Divide the bar into 8 equal parts. Shade the first one and write 1/8 on the number line. Prerequisites: 3-75 ○ 2-53
Show proper fractions on a number line. What's 7/8? It's the length of 7 parts – measured as the distance from 0 – when the length 1 is divided into 8 equal parts. Draw a bar to represent 1 as the distance between 0 and 1. Divide the bar into 8 equal parts. Shade the first seven and write 7/8 on the number line. Prerequisites: 3-80
