FractionFraction number lines
Zero to one, cut nine ways. Every mark is labeled with its lowest-terms name — so 2/4 prints as 1/2, and equivalent fractions reveal themselves by lining up down the page.
The site chrome drops away — just the numbers.
The same idea, interactive and down to 128ths: the ruler.
Common questions
- Why are some labels already reduced?
- Because 2/4 IS 1/2, and the chart says so: every mark carries its lowest-terms name. Stack the quarters line over the halves line and the labels agree wherever the marks do — that lining-up is what equivalent fractions mean.
- How do I use these in a classroom?
- Print the page — the site chrome drops away, one line per denominator survives. Have students find the same value on different lines (1/2 appears on six of them), or read off which line first gives a name to a point between marks.
