Description

This fractions on a number line activity is perfect for math centers, warm-up tasks, math talk prompts, or SCOOT. Classroom teachers and homeschooling families alike could enjoy this activity. Students practice placing points on the number lines to show fractions - halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, and twelfths included. Most cards include number lines that are already divided, with 0 and 1 labeled, while a couple of cards require students to plot the point to an undivided number line. Two bonus questions included to prompt students to compare fractions using reasoning and the number lines to communicate and justify their answer.

Includes all 19 questions as full page and quarter page formats. A number line is shown with each question - perfect for laminating and allowing students to use dry erase markers right on the card, but the recording sheet also has a number line for each question, if you'd rather collect students' answers for assessment.

This product is ready to go, but be prepared for the oohs and ahhs and plenty of puppy stories that are sure to come with this activity!

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

  • Nineteen Task Cards - full page and quarter page
  • Recording Sheets with Number Lines
  • Answer Key

I placed the task cards around the room and students worked with a partner to complete the tasks. We had already completed lessons on dividing regions equally and plotting basic fractions on a number line. I ensured that one of the buddies was an able reader. Students were able to complete the tasks and the last 2 problems we worked out as a class. My only request is that the author also provides a set of problems with the metric measurement 'kilometre' as that would be more appropriate for us here in NZ. It would also be great if some dogs had female or more gender neutral names. Thanks for a great fun resource.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
Represent a fraction 1/𝘣 on a number line diagram by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into 𝘣 equal parts. Recognize that each part has size 1/𝘣 and that the endpoint of the part based at 0 locates the number 1/𝘣 on the number line.
Represent a fraction 𝘢/𝘣 on a number line diagram by marking off 𝘢 lengths 1/𝘣 from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size 𝘢/𝘣 and that its endpoint locates the number 𝘢/𝘣 on the number line.
