Fractions on the Number line



One of the TEKS is
4.3.G - represent fractions and decimals to the tenths or hundredths as distances from zero on a number line.

 Fractions on a numberline is a tricky concept. Honestly, regular numbers on a numberline is tricky!
When I had my kiddos do decimals on a number line each child got a sticky note with a decimal (that was less than one). They had to do the the fraction, decimal, picture, word form, and expanded notation for that decimal. Then they had to place it on the number line.
It was tricky to remember that 0.11 goes right after 0.1.
Because 0.1 = 0.10

Today for fractions on a number line, I did this lesson. It was pretty great and it gave us an opportunity to see equivalent fractions and unit fractions.
