Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematics exercise designed to help students practice placing fractions on a number line. It contains four problems, each with an empty number line that spans from 0 to 1. The students are instructed to locate and mark four different fractions on these number lines: 1/7, 1/2, 1/8, and 1/5, respectively. Each task is progressively challenging, allowing students to demonstrate their understanding of fractions in relation to the unity.

The worksheet aims to teach students the skill of accurately representing fractions on a number line. Through this activity, they learn how to divide a whole into equal parts and how to locate those parts on the number line. It also introduces the concept of equivalence and comparison between different fractions by giving them a visual sense of the size of each fraction. Additionally, the exercise enhances the students’ ability to transition from concrete fractional representations to more abstract numerical representations on the number line.
