fraction number lines



Becky says she used the number line recommended by Hung Hsi Wu before teaching common denominators and equivalent fractions to her kids.

I don't know what Wu's fraction number line looks like, whether it's a classic line or a stacked set of lines like the one at the link above.

EAI Education sells the Decimal and Fraction Number line pictured. It looks a little confusing to me, but it may make more sense when you can actually hold it.
