Lesson Details

Key learning points

Mixed numbers are numbers that can be located on a number line.
Stem sentence: ‘Each interval on the line is divided into _________ equal parts. ‘This allows us to count in _________.'
The stem sentence support us to determine the unit that we are working with.

Common misconception

Children may write 'four-quarters' instead of 'one' or 'one and eight-eighths' instead of '2'. Children may also confuse 'part' and 'marks' when determining the unit that we are working with.

One is composed of four-quarters, but we write '1'. Two is composed of one and eight-eighths but we write '2'. We need to count the equal parts in between the intervals, not the marks.

Keywords
