Description

This image provides a visual comparison of unit fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6, demonstrating that as the denominator increases, the value of the unit fraction decreases. It shows different unit fractions on a number line with a visual comparison of their lengths.

This representation helps students visualize the relative sizes of different unit fractions. It clearly illustrates that while each fraction represents one part, the size of that part decreases as the whole is divided into more pieces.

Teachers can use this image to introduce or reinforce the concept of comparing unit fractions. It provides a powerful visual aid for understanding why a fraction with a larger denominator represents a smaller part of the whole.

Teacher's Script: "Let's compare these unit fractions: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/6 on the number line. What do you notice about the length of the segment from 1/2 to 1/6? Why does this happen? Can you order these fractions from largest to smallest? How does this visual representation help you understand the relationship between the denominator and the size of the fraction?"
