Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides students with a hands-on activity for placing fractions on a number line. Each of the four exercises on the worksheet features a number line labeled with 0 and 1 at the ends and a fraction that needs to be placed correctly on the line. The fractions to be placed are 2/5, 2/10, 2/3, and 1/2, each represented by different colors and associated with a specific position on the corresponding number line. The layout is clear and straightforward, encouraging students to visualize where each fraction fits between the whole numbers.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to locate and mark fractions on a number line accurately. By working through the exercises, students will understand that fractions represent parts of a whole and can be visually represented as points between 0 and 1. This activity also helps to reinforce the concept of equivalent fractions, as some of the fractions given can be simplified to the same value (for example, 2/10 simplifies to 1/5). Additionally, it aids in developing their skills in comparing the relative size of fractions and understanding the concept of numerators and denominators.
