How it works

Label the fraction at each ring. The first set is points on number lines cut into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths and eighths; the second is a large 3/4 and six shaded shapes.

Count the parts, then the jumps

Each line runs from 0 to 1, and that length is the whole. Count the equal parts it is cut into: that is the bottom number. Count the jumps from 0 to the ring: that is the top number. A tick that already has a simpler name on a line above it is written in, so 2/4 sits straight under 1/2.

Shapes, and a sheet for class

For a shape, count every equal part, then the shaded ones: two of four shaded is 2/4. Typed answers also take the equal name, 1/2. A class asked to estimate to equally partition and label the fractions on paper strips can check them against the lines, or print the page blank.

  • The more equal parts a whole is cut into, the smaller each part: 1/8 sits closer to 0 than 1/3.
  • For a parts of a fraction anchor chart, print the labeled copy and enlarge the 3/4.

Questions and answers

How do you label fractions on a number line?

Treat the length from 0 to 1 as the whole. The number of equal parts it is cut into is the denominator. Count parts from 0 to the point for the numerator: the third tick of four is 3/4.

What are the parts of a fraction called?

The top number is the numerator, the bottom number is the denominator, and the line between them is the fraction bar. The denominator says how many equal parts make the whole; the numerator says how many of them are counted.

Why is 2/4 at the same point as 1/2?

They are equivalent fractions: two names for the same point on the number line. Two jumps of one fourth cover the same length as one jump of one half.

What fraction is a whole shape?

When every part is shaded, the top and bottom numbers are equal and the fraction equals 1. A bar cut into three with all three shaded is 3/3, one whole.
