Description

This image shows fraction number lines demonstrating the equivalence of 6/12 and 1/2. It displays two number lines, one marked from 0 to 1 with 12 equal divisions and a point at 6/12, and another marked from 0 to 1 with 2 equal divisions and a point at 1/2.

This representation introduces a new model for understanding equivalent fractions and fraction simplification. It helps students visualize fractions on a linear scale and reinforces the concept that equivalent fractions occupy the same point on a number line.

Teachers can use this image to discuss how fractions can be represented on a number line and to practice identifying equivalent fractions using this model.

Teacher's Script: "Let's look at these number lines. One shows 6/12 and the other shows 1/2. What do you notice about where these fractions are located on their respective number lines? How does this help us understand that they're equivalent? Can you think of other fractions that would be at the same point?"
