Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Given a number line only representing 0-1, identify the distance from 0-1 as a whole.
- Given a number line only representing 0-1, divided into two equal parts, identify each part as a half of the whole length. Identify the end location of the first part as 1/2.
- Given a number line only representing 0-1, divided into three equal parts, identify each part as a third of the whole length. Identify the end location of the first part as 1/3.
- Given a number line only representing 0-1, divided into four equal parts, identify each part as a quarter of the whole length. Identify the end location of the first part as 1/4.
- Given a number line only representing 0-1, divided into eight equal parts, identify each part as an eighth of the whole length. Identify the end location of the first part as 1/8.
