Represent Mixed Numbers on a Number Line
See fractions visually with these eight images, each of which has a matching numerical fraction. The images have a row of objects representing the numerator and denominator. This is a nice way to show what a fraction actually means.
Curated OER
Represent a Fraction on a Number Line
Number lines can be an excellent tool to helping youngsters comprehend fractions. Here they analyze two number lines and then mark specific points on two of their own. By examining where a point is along the spectrum from zero to one,...
Curated OER
Confusing Fractions and Decimals
Eight number lines are given, and math scholars need to place the given decimal numbers on the fraction line as accurately as possible. Each number line shows a different span of numbers. Consider having learners go through it the first...

Using Number Lines and Fractions
In this using number lines and fractions instructional activity, 4th graders use the number lines given to find fractions in between other fractions.
Curated OER
Number Lines
In these number lines worksheets, students observe number line templates from zero to ten with half marks indicated. There are 5 number lines per page.

Explaining Fraction Equivalence with Picture
Visual models are a great tool for demonstrating the concept of equivalent fractions. Given two pictures, young mathematicians first identify each fraction and then write an explanation for why they are equivalent. Use as a guided...
Curated OER
Half of a Half
After your math classes have been introduced to fractions (especially those with denominators of two, four, and eight), introduce them to fractions on a number line with this lesson. Using a meter length of tape, show your class where...
Curated OER
Order Fractions on a Number Line
In this fractions worksheet, students use a compare, order, and write fractions on a number line. In this problem solving worksheet, students circle and fill in the blank to solve five problems.

Comparing Fractions with the Same Denominator, Assessment Variation
A short, multiple choice assessment that determines your 3rd graders' ability to correctly compare fractions with like denominators. This quiz asks learners to compare two fractions using words, the greater than/less than symbols, and...
Rational Number Project
Initial Fraction Ideas Lesson 9 Overview
Visual models support young mathematicians with exploring equivalent fractions. Starting with a quick warm-up problem, children go on to work through a series of guiding practice problems before working with a partner identifying and...
Curated OER
Comparing Fractions and Equivalence
There are a few ways to practice fraction skills here, and they will all appeal to visual learners. First, mathematicians fill in blanks in two fraction number sequences. Next, they analyze two fractions marked along a number line to...
Curated OER
Fraction Benchmarks
Learners investigate the fraction benchmarks for zero, one half, and one. They use these benchmarks to compare the relative sizes of fractions, through estimating, ordering and placing them on a number line. An assessment worksheet is...

Lines of Symmetry
Do your learners know that letters of the alphabet have lines of symmetry? Well, some of them do. Scholars examine nine symmetrical letters and draw in the line of symmetry for each (one of them has two!). They also complete six letters...
Curated OER
Lines of Symmetry
Drawing lines of symmetry helps scholars understand shape attributes, basic fractions, and equality. They determine how many lines each of these nine shapes has, using an example as reference. Consider having learners cut out a set of...

Finding a Half on a Number Line
In this 1/2 worksheet, students fill in missing numbers on a number line, finding halves. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
PHET
Fractions: Equality
What makes fractions equivalent? Learners first use an interactive that shows equivalent fractions with fraction models and number lines. They then play a game where they must match sets of equivalent fractions with different denominators.
