Model Subtracting Fractions

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a mathematical tool designed to help students practice subtracting fractions using number lines as visual aids. It contains four subtraction exercises (labeled A to D), each with a number line representing fractions with different denominators. Students must identify the correct intervals on the number line that correspond to the given subtraction problems and then write the resulting fraction. The exercise facilitates the understanding of the concept of fraction subtraction by allowing students to visually assess the distances between fractional values.

This worksheet is intended to teach students how to find the difference between two fractions by visually interpreting their positions on a number line. It reinforces the idea that subtraction of fractions can be seen as measuring the distance between points (fractions) on the number line. Through this visual method, students can better grasp the concept of fractional differences without the need for common denominators.
