Fractions

Description

This image depicts a number line representing fractions in halves. The number line extends from 0 to 1, with clear markings at 0, 1/2, and 1. Each half is distinctly labeled, making it easy for students to visualize how halves relate to the whole and to each other on a linear scale.

This visual representation is crucial for helping students understand fractions as numbers with specific positions on a number line. It reinforces the concept that fractions represent parts of a whole and how these parts relate to each other in a linear progression.

Teachers can use this image to introduce the concept of fractions on a number line, demonstrate equivalent fractions (e.g., 2/4 = 1/2), and help students grasp the idea of fractions as numbers between whole numbers. This representation also lays the groundwork for understanding more complex fractions and mixed numbers.

Teacher's Script: "Look at this number line, class. It's divided into two equal parts. Where do you see 1/2 on this line? How does this help us understand where fractions sit between whole numbers?"
