What word comes to mind when you think about fractions?

Write 1 word please : )

3 of 27

Was partition one of your words?

What does the word partition mean?

How do you know how many parts to partition a fraction region into?

How do you know how many parts to partition a number line into?

Use the link below to:

  • show a number line;
  • partition 0 to 1 in half (use bars if needed);
  • label ½

5 of 27

Did you place ½ here?

How can knowing where ½ is help you to partition and place ¾?

How many parts do you have now?

How many parts do you need?

How can you make those parts from the 2 you see?

Use the link below to:

  • show a number line;
  • partition 0 to 1 in fourths (use bars if needed);
  • label ¾

7 of 27

Did you place 3/4 here?

How many parts/lengths are between o and ¾?

How many are between ¾ and 1?

What is another name for 1 whole on this number line?

8 of 27

What fraction would go here?

The arrow is pointing to the end of what length?

Record the fraction on the number line.

The fraction is ¼!

Let’s skip count all of the fractions.

How would you partition and label this number line into eighths?

Can you use what you know about halves and fourths? How?

How many parts will you need?

What will the denominator be for each fraction you label?

0

1

12 of 27

Did you start by making 2 parts or splitting the number line in half?

13 of 27

Then, did you make 4 parts out of those halves?

14 of 27

Last, did you make 8 parts by splitting each fourth in half?

15 of 27

Did you label it like this?

16 of 27

What would you label the next two fractions on the number line?

? ?

  • If you were skip counting, what would be the next fraction in the series?
  • How many parts are between 0 and that first unlabeled fraction on the number line? The second?
  • How many parts are in 1 whole (between 0 and 1)?

Label the next two fractions on the number line.

  • If you were skip counting, what would be the next fraction in the series?
  • How many parts are between 0 and that first unlabeled fraction on the number line? The second?
  • How many parts are in 1 whole (between 0 and 1)?

18 of 27

Label the next two fractions on the number line.

  • How did you know what to label the two fractions?
  • Is there another way to name each fraction?
  • Are these fractions greater than or less than 1? How do you know?

Student’s in Mrs. Wilson’s class also partitioned the number line and plotted fractions.

  • What error is Eric making?

  • What can we learn from Eric?
