Fractions Greater Than 1 on a Number Line: what children learn
A fraction can be more than 1. On a number line that runs to 2, a line cut into fourths has 4 parts in each whole, so a point 5 parts from 0 is at 5/4. Answers are written as one fraction, not as a mixed number.
Fractions Greater Than 1 on a Number Line: worked example
A number line from 0 to 2 has 4 equal parts in each whole. The point is 5 parts from 0. What fraction is the point? 5/4
Each whole is cut into 4 parts, so the bottom number is 4. The point is 5 parts from 0, so the top number is 5.
Fractions Greater Than 1 on a Number Line: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes use the number of parts in the whole line as the bottom number instead of the parts in one whole.
Fractions Greater Than 1 on a Number Line: how to help at home or in class
Draw a line from 0 to 2 and count up in fourths together, saying each number aloud: one fourth, two fourths, and so on. Slow down at the whole number 1 and keep going without stopping, so five fourths feels like a natural next step. Ask what the line looks like past 1 and why the pieces stay the same size. When your child counts past 1 smoothly in several denominators, they are ready to meet equal fractions.
