At the request of elementary teachers, a team of Bethel & Sumner educators met as a committee to create Eureka slideshow presentations. These presentations are not meant as a script, nor are they required to be used. Please customize as needed. Thank you to the many educators who contributed to this project!
Directions for customizing presentations are available on the next slide.

Fluency
Objective: Practice placing various fractions on the number line.
Fluency Practice
Draw Number Bonds of 1 Whole (4 minutes)
On your personal white board, draw a number bond to partition 1 whole into:
Halves Thirds Fourths Fifths
Fluency Practice
Place Fractions on the Number Line (4 minutes)
Draw my number line on your personal white board.
Estimate to mark and label 1 third in the interval 0 to 1.
Write 3 thirds on your number line. Label the point as a fraction.
Application Problem
Third-grade students are growing peppers. The student with the longest pepper wins the Green Thumb award. Jackson’s pepper measured 3 inches long. Drew’s measured inches long. Who won the award?
Draw a number line to help prove your answer.

Concept Development
Look at the number line I’ve created on the floor. Let’s use it to measure and compare.
This number line shows the interval from 0 to 1.
What fractional unit does the number line show?
Concept Development
Think back to our Application Problem. What in the Application Problem relates to the length of the toss?
Talk to your partner, how did we use the distance from 0 to show the length of the peppers?
Let’s do the same thing we did with our big number line on the floor, pretending we measured giant peppers with yards instead of inches.
Problem Set
Debrief
Lesson Objective: Practice placing various fractions on the number line.
-What did you think about first to help you place the fractions?
-Did you label all of the marks on each number line or just the fractions in the list? Why?
-What was the first fraction that you placed on each number line? Why did you start with that one?
-What advice would you give an absent classmate about completing this Problem Set?
-What is the most important thing to remember when placing fractions on the number line?
