Description
Teach Fractions on a Number Line using movable fraction bar manipulatives with this fun set of Google Slides. Students move fraction bar pieces to label fractions on a number line, to truly understand how fraction number lines work. These fun & engaging slides are perfect for practicing TEKS 3.3B and CCSS 3.NF.2b.
What you will love about this resource:
- Every slide is bright and colorful to capture your students’ attention.
- Interactive movable pieces keep your students engaged.
- Video Instructions embedded into the Google Slides make your job easier.
Video instructions for students are embedded in the activity:
- Have students who forget instructions as soon as it is time for them to begin working? Students can watch the video instructions on plotting fractions on a number line before completing the activity at a math station, for seatwork or homework.
- Have students who are absent? The video instructions save you time so that you don’t have to explain how to complete the activity to students.
- Have a sub? They can watch the video instructions so that they can offer support while students complete the digital activity.
Fractions on a Number Line Topics:
- Students move fraction bar pieces to represent the space between tick marks on fraction number lines

Standards Alignment:
TEKS 3.3B Determine the corresponding fraction greater than zero and less than or equal to one with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 given a specified point on a number line.
TEKS 3.7A Represent fractions of halves, fourths, and eighths as distances from zero on a number line.
Common Core 3.NF.2b Represent a fraction a/b on a number line diagram by marking off a lengths 1/b from 0. Recognize that the resulting interval has size a/b and that its endpoint locates the number a/b on the number line.
