This short problem with representing fractions on a number line is more than meets the eye. Labeled only with the numbers zero and 1/4, a number line is used to locate the fraction 2/3. A solution can be found in multiple ways, but young mathematicians must understand the comparative size of the unit fractions 1/4 and 1/3 and how they relate to one whole. A great worksheet for strengthening your class's grasp of fractions. Use this as an opportunity for students to share their learning with others in a follow-up discussion.
