What Fraction is Missing

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an interactive tool for teaching fractions using number lines and visual aids. It features five questions, each with a number line that runs from 0 to 1, and includes colored shapes placed at different points along the line. The task for students is to determine the missing fraction that corresponds to the position where each shape is located and write it in the box provided. The number lines are marked with fractional increments, and the shapes serve as a visual reference for the students to associate the position with a specific fraction.

The worksheet is teaching students to recognize and understand fractions in a visual and spatial context. By assigning a fraction to the position of each shape, students practice identifying the value of fractions on a number line. This exercise reinforces the concept that fractions represent parts of a whole and helps students to visually estimate and calculate fractional values. Moreover, it encourages the development of number sense and the ability to compare the size of different fractions visually.
