Description

This image is another variation, now demonstrating the equivalence of 4/12 and 1/3 on number lines. It shows two number lines, one marked from 0 to 1 with 12 equal divisions and a point at 4/12, and another marked from 0 to 1 with 3 equal divisions and a point at 1/3.

This representation continues to build on the concept of equivalent fractions using number lines. It helps students visualize how fractions with different denominators can represent the same value, even when the relationship isn't as immediately obvious as in previous examples.

Teachers can use this image to discuss more complex fraction simplification and to encourage students to look for patterns in equivalent fractions.

Teacher's Script: "Here we have 4/12 and 1/3 on number lines. How do these compare to the fractions we looked at before? Can you explain why 4/12 and 1/3 are equivalent? What patterns do you notice in the fractions we've simplified so far?"
