Fractions on a number line
Mathematics · Fractions · representational
Recognise and use fractions as numbers: place unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators on a number line
What mastery looks like
- Place 1/2, 1/4, 3/4 on a number line from 0 to 1
- Identify that 1/3 lies between 0 and 1/2 on the number line
- Understand that a fraction is a single number, not just 'part of a shape'
Check your understanding
