Original Prompt

Create an activity to help teach mastery of the standard: place any fraction on a number line with endpoints 0 and 1.

This learning resource focuses on understanding how to accurately place fractions on a number line between 0 and 1. It begins with key concepts such as the definition of a numerator and denominator, illustrating fractions as parts of a whole and their representation on a number line. The resource provides a step-by-step approach to mastering placement through various methods: starting with unit fractions, transitioning to non-unit fractions, and comparing fractions with the same numerator but different denominators. It includes guided practice, independent exercises, and prompts for self-explanation to reinforce learning. The overall goal is to ensure students can effectively identify and label fractions on a number line, while also introducing concepts of equivalent fractions.
