I can show fractions greater than 1 on a number line.

  • 1

    On a number line, the space between 0 and 1 can be divided into equal parts to show fractions, like sixths or fourths.

  • 2

    To find 7/6 on a number line, you count 7 spaces, where each space represents 1/6 of the distance from 0 to 1.

  • 3

    If the space between 0 and 1 is divided into 4 equal parts, each part represents 1/4, and 9 of those parts would be 9/4 on the number line.
