Description

This image is a variation of the previous one, for 1 1/2, showing the whole number part on the number line and then the fractional part. It displays a number line with the whole number 1 clearly marked, and then shows how the additional 1/2 is added to reach the final position of 1 1/2.

This representation helps students understand how mixed numbers are constructed on a number line, breaking down the process into two steps: locating the whole number, then adding the fraction. It reinforces the concept that mixed numbers combine whole numbers and fractions.

Teachers can use this image to explain how to locate mixed numbers on a number line and to discuss the relationship between the whole number part and the fractional part.

Teacher's Script: "Let's break down how we locate 1 1/2 on the number line. First, we find the whole number 1. Then, from that point, we add 1/2 more. Can you see how this gives us the same result as in the previous image? How might we use this method to locate other mixed numbers on a number line?"
