Extend your class's ability to represent unit fractions on a number line with this challenging worksheet. Given two number lines, one labeled with zero and 1/4, the other with zero and 5/3, students must accurately locate the number one on each. A great worksheet to use after teaching a lesson on fractions greater than one. Consider presenting this activity without scaffolding and allow learners to collaborate with partners as they work to deepen their understanding of fractions. Follow up with a brief discussion that allows young mathematicians an opportunity to share their solutions with their peers.
