Gifted and Talented Teacher creates high-quality teaching resources and printable teacher resources designed to support calm, organised, and engaging learning environments. From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Teach students to represent, compare and order fractions on a number line with this complete teaching bundle. Students build number lines from 0 to 1, discover how the denominator sets the number of equal intervals, and use relative position to compare and order fractions and explain their reasoning.

Combining a lesson plan, a 50-slide editable teacher presentation, three differentiated student activities, an exit ticket with interpretation guide and a hands-on fraction game, this curriculum-aligned bundle provides everything you need to teach the lesson from start to finish.

Built around the I Do, We Do, You Do model, students move from explicit teacher modelling to guided practice and independent application. They place halves, thirds, quarters, sixths and eighths on the same number line, notice that a larger denominator creates more, smaller intervals, see that equivalent fractions share one point, and justify the order of fractions using mathematical language.

Differentiated Student Activities (PDF)

• Activity overview to help you match each option to your students
• Three differentiated activities: Placing Fractions on Number Lines, Fractions on the Same Number Line and Reasoning with Fraction Positions
• Tasks placing, comparing and ordering fractions on number lines from 0 to 1
• Reasoning questions that ask students to explain and justify their thinking
• Answer key and marking guide for every activity

Hands-On Activity: Fraction Treasure Hunt (PDF)
