    The document discusses representing fractions as points on a number line. It explains that to find the point for a fraction less than 1, we divide the space between 0 and 1 into equal parts based on the denominator. Then we count the number of parts indicated by the numerator and mark that point. For example, to locate 3/4 on the number line, we divide the space into 4 equal parts and mark the third part. We then practice locating the points for 1/3 and 2/5 on number lines.

    Fractions and mixed numbers on the number line


    17. A fraction smaller than 1 as a point on the number line

    How do we find the point corresponding to a fraction on the


    number line?

    Example:
    That's how we find the point corresponding to
    ≥ :
    ¥
    a. We divide the unit segment between 0 and 1 into 4 equal part.
    The number of equal parts between 0 and 1 is the denominator.

    ▲
    0 1
    b. Now we start at 0 and count 3 steps (equal parts).
    We mark the point we have reached.
    The number of equal parts between 0 and this point is the numerator.
    c. The point we marked is the point corresponding to ≥ .
    ¥

    ▲
    0 1

    Use an appropriate partitioning card and mark the point corresponding to the
    fraction. Write the fraction beside it as in the above example.

    a. ±
    ▲

    µ 0 1

    b. ≥
    ▲

    ±∞ 0 1
    Mark on the same line the number 2 as well.
