Description

This image presents a number line divided into sixths, extending 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, 2/6, and 3/6 on the number line, providing a visual representation of its position relative to the whole.

This visual aid is particularly useful for helping students understand the concept of specific fractions on a number line. It reinforces the idea that 2/6 is closer to 0 than it is to 1, and is equivalent to 1/3, aiding in fraction comparison, equivalence, and estimation skills.

Teachers can use this image to discuss the position of 2/6 on the number line, compare it to other fractions like 1/6 or 3/6, and explore its relationship to the whole and to 1/3. This representation supports the development of fraction sense and prepares students for more advanced fraction concepts.

Teacher's Script: "Look at where 2/6 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 1/3 would be located?"
