Description

This image shows a number line divided into sixths, ranging from 0 to 1. The number line is clearly marked at 0, 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, and 1, with each sixth distinctly labeled. This particular image highlights the fractions 1/6 and 2/6 on the number line, providing a visual representation of its position relative to the whole.

This visual aid is especially useful for helping students understand the concept of specific fractions on a number line. It reinforces the idea that 1/6 is closer to 0 than it is to 1, aiding in fraction comparison and estimation skills.

Teachers can use this image to discuss the position of 1/6 on the number line, compare it to other fractions like 2/6 or 5/6, and explore its relationship to the whole. This representation supports the development of fraction sense and prepares students for more advanced fraction concepts.

Teacher's Script: "Notice where 1/6 is marked on this number line. How does its position help us understand its value? Is it closer to 0 or 1? How does this compare to where 5/6 is located?"
