Remember: The bottom number counts the equal parts in 1. The top number counts the jumps from zero. A line can go past 1, and two names can be the same spot.

Read the line

1
The line from 0 to 1 is cut into equal parts. Write the fraction for the dot.
2
The line goes from 0 to 2. Which fraction is the dot at?
3
The line goes from 0 to 2. What fraction is the dot at?
4
Which line has the dot at 5/3?
A
B
C
5
The dot is at the same spot on both lines. It is at 1/2 on the top line. What fraction names it on the bottom line?
1/43/42/4
6
The dot is at the same spot on both lines. It is at 2/3 on the top line. What fraction names it on the bottom line, cut in sixths?

Compare, hop and explain

7
The dot at 3/4 is closer to zero than the dot at 1/2.
TrueFalse
8
Number the fractions from the closest to zero to the farthest from zero.
  • 1/3
  • 1/2
  • 1/4
  • 1/8
9
Pip starts at 2/6 and hops 3 times, 1/6 each time. Where does Pip land?
10
Sam jogs on a track that is 1 mile long, cut into 4 equal parts. He stops at the dot. How many miles has he jogged?
11
Draw a dot at 7/6 on the line.
12
Pip says 1/3 is bigger than 1/2 because 3 is bigger than 2. Write why Pip is not right.

Answer key · Set C
Beyond one, and the same spot
16/8 0 to 1 is cut in 8 equal parts. The dot is 6 jumps from zero: 6/8, the same spot as 3/4.
24/3 Each part is 1/3. The dot is 4 jumps from zero: 4/3.
311/8 Each part is 1/8. The dot is 11 jumps from zero: 11/8.
4B 5/3 is 5 jumps of 1/3 from zero. A is 4 jumps and C is cut in fourths.
52/4 On the bottom line the dot is 2 jumps of 1/4 from zero: 2/4.
64/6 On the bottom line the dot is 4 jumps of 1/6 from zero: 4/6.
7False 3/4 is farther along the line than 1/2, so it is farther from zero.
83, 4, 2, 1 The bigger the bottom number, the smaller each jump. So 1/8 is the closest to zero.
95/6 2/6 and 3 more jumps of 1/6 is 5/6.
107/4 Each part is 1/4. The dot is 7 jumps from zero: 7/4 miles.
