Did you know that fractions can be represented on a number line?
We can represent any fraction on a number line by looking at its denominator and partitioning a whole into fractional parts.
Let’s take a look at an example.
If we wanted to represent ¾ on a number line, we would begin by identifying the denominator in our fraction.
Since our denominator is 4, we need to partition our whole into 4 equal parts.
The equal parts are represented by the number of spaces between each line and NOT by the lines.
From 0 to the whole number 1, we should have a total of 4 spaces between each line. So let's add lines to divide our whole into 4 equal parts.
If I add a line between 0 and 1 that creates two equal parts. If I partition each of the two equal parts into halves that gives me a total of 4 equal parts.
Now let's finish by representing the fractional parts on our number line.
Since each line represents 1 out of 4 equal parts in our whole, the second line would be 2 out of 4, the third line would be 3 out of 4 and the 4th line would be 4 out of 4 equal parts or 1 whole.
