TEKS 3.3B: Identifying Fractions on Number Line
Identify Fractions on a Number Line 3.3B
About this lesson
Learning Target: I can find the fraction for a point on a number line when it is divided into 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 equal parts.
Focuses On:
- Identifying the location of given fractions on a number line
- Determining the number of parts in a number line that makes up the whole
- Naming the fraction a specific point on a number line represents
Builds On:
2.3A:
Partition objects into equal parts and name the parts, including halves, fourths, and eighths, using words.
2.3C:
Use concrete models to count fractional parts beyond one whole using words and recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole.
Next Level:
4.3D:
Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators and represent the comparison using the symbols >, =, or <.

This lesson is designed to support student understanding of the value of fractions to build a foundation for comparing and determining fraction equivalency.
The two instructional blocks in this lesson focus on number line fractions-fourths & eighths and number line fractions-thirds & sixths.
In the first instructional block, students identify fractions on a number line that is broken into fourths and eighths. Students are also asked to identify the location of a given fraction on a number line.
The second instructional block focuses on identifying fractions on a number line that is broken into thirds and sixths. Students are also asked to identify the location of a given fraction on a number line.
Scaffolds and supports such as models and pictorial representations are intentionally built throughout the lesson to support conceptual learning.
