Word Problems on Number Line

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides students with exercises on understanding and working with fractions on a number line. The first task involves analyzing a number line drawn to represent the fraction 9/10 and identifying a mistake made in the representation. The second task asks students to show the fraction 5/10 on a number line and then name an equivalent fraction. In the third task, students are presented with a number line that shows the fraction 4/5 and are required to determine where the fraction 6/5 would be located on that line.

The worksheet is intended to teach students about the proper representation of fractions on a number line and the concept of equivalent fractions. By evaluating Amy’s number line for 9/10, students learn to critically assess and correct errors in fraction placement. When showing 5/10 on a number line and finding an equivalent fraction, they practice simplifying fractions and understanding equivalence. Lastly, by determining the position of 6/5, students explore fractions greater than one, also known as improper fractions, and their placement on a number line, furthering their comprehension of fraction concepts.
