Placing Non-Unit Fractions on a Number Line

This video tutorial teaches how to place fractions with numerators other than one on a number line. It explains the concept of fractions as parts of a whole and demonstrates how to locate fractions like two-fifths and two-thirds on a number line by dividing the space between whole numbers into equal parts. The tutorial uses visual aids like base 10 blocks to help understand the process.

What does a fraction represent?

• A part of a whole

• A whole number

• A decimal point

• An integer

What is the value range of a fraction?

• Exactly 1

• Less than 0

• Between 0 and 1

• More than 1

Why do fractions have to be more than 0 but less than 1?

• Because they are equal to 1

• Because they represent parts of a whole

• Because they represent whole numbers

• Because they cannot be negative

How do we represent two-fifths on a number line?

• Divide the line into 10 equal parts

• Mark a point at 2/5th of the line

• Divide the line into 5 equal parts and select two

• Divide the line into 2 equal parts

What does the numerator in a fraction tell us?

• The total number of parts

• The number of selected parts

• The value of each part

• The division of zero

What is the first step in finding the location of a fraction on a number line?

• Marking the whole numbers

• Selecting the numerator

• Drawing the number line

• Dividing the space between 0 and 1 into equal parts as indicated by the denominator

How do we visually represent two-fifths on a shape?

• By coloring in two out of five sections

• By dividing the shape into two parts

• By drawing five circles

• By shading the entire shape

What is the significance of breaking the space between 0 and 1 into equal parts?

• It has no significance

• It helps in accurately placing whole numbers

• It is necessary for placing fractions on the number line

• It is only for visual appeal

How is two-thirds represented on a number line?

• By dividing the line into 3 parts and selecting two

• By shading the entire line

• By marking two-thirds of the way along the line

• By dividing the line into 6 equal parts

What role does the denominator play in placing a fraction on a number line?

• It has no role

• It shows the total number of parts the whole is divided into

• It represents the whole number

• It indicates the number of parts to select
