About the Lesson
This TI-Nspire lesson helps students understand and visualize a fraction as a number that can be represented as a point on a number line.
Students will learn that the denominator indicates the number of equal parts in each whole unit and the numerator indicates the number of those parts. (Note that a and b (≠ 0) both represent whole numbers.)
This is Lesson 1 out of 15 in the Building Concepts in Mathematics: Fractions Series.
