Learning Objectives

Students will be able to label fractions on a number line.

Introduction

(10 minutes)
  • Gather students together.
  • Introduce the idea of using a number line to show fractions. On the board, draw a number line with the whole numbers from 0 to 5.
  • Facilitate a discussion with students about how numbers relate to one another on the line. For example, as the line moves right, the value of the numbers becomes greater.
  • Tell students that they will zoom into the space on the line between 0 and 1 and label the fractions that fall on this part of the line.
