Differing Jumps
Worksheet Description
The worksheet is a mathematical instructional tool for learning subtraction of fractions with the help of number lines. It provides four sets of problems, labeled A to D, each with a corresponding number line that shows fractions marked at intervals. Students are expected to complete the subtraction sentences by identifying the distances between the fractions denoted by the arcs on the number lines and translating these distances into fractional differences. The worksheet is designed to make the abstract concept of fraction subtraction more concrete by providing a visual representation.
The worksheet is aimed at teaching students to understand and compute the subtraction of fractions using a visual and interactive method. By marking the difference between two points on a number line, students can visually grasp the concept of subtracting one fraction from another. This method helps to solidify their understanding of the relationships between fractions and encourages the development of number sense.
