FREEBIE Fractions on a Number Line, 4th Grade Math Lesson & Assessment

Are you a middle school math teacher struggling with gaps from previous grades?

This is an excellent review unit for any grade level 5th – 8th, where students might have gaps in fraction understanding! Build prerequisite knowledge before you tackle more difficult fraction concepts.

My biggest pet peeve in teaching is pushing a concept on students when they lack the deeper understanding it requires. Yes, they can memorize the skill, but do they really know what they’re doing? I’ve used this unit of lessons with my fifth graders for the past decade. Students are not ready to add, subtract, multiply, or divide fractions if they don’t understand what fractions truly mean!
