Check understanding
- Place 1/2, 1/4, 3/4 on a number line from 0 to 1
- Identify that 1/3 lies between 0 and 1/2 on the number line
- Understand that a fraction is a single number, not just 'part of a shape'
“If you draw a number line from 0 to 1, can your child mark where 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 should go — without any extra help?”
