Equivalent Fractions on a Number Line – Interactive Comparison Tool
This interactive number line tool helps students clearly visualize fractions and compare their values. Two fractions appear stacked on the screen, each with its written form on the left and a point plotted on its own number line. Students use numerator and denominator sliders (up to 24) to explore exactly where each fraction falls between 0 and 1.
What Students Can Explore
- Adjust numerators and denominators to generate unlimited fraction pairs
- See each fraction plotted accurately on a number line
- Compare fractions with unlike denominators
- Test and discover patterns among equivalent fractions
Instant Visual Feedback
When the two fractions are equivalent, both number line points turn green, giving students a clear, immediate visual confirmation of a match.
Supports Key Fraction Concepts
- Understanding numerator–denominator relationships
- Locating fractions on a number line
- Identifying and generating equivalent fractions
- Making comparisons between fractions
Perfect for Classroom Use
- Ideal for grades 3–6
- Useful during whole-class demonstrations and mini-lessons
- Great for small-group instruction or guided practice
- Engaging for independent exploration and review
This digital manipulative strengthens number line understanding while making fraction comparison clear, visual, and interactive.
