Fractions on a Number Line – Year 4

Give Year 4 students a clear, connected pathway into fraction number lines. This complete mathematics unit begins with equal intervals and denominator-based step sizes, then develops counting in halves, thirds and quarters across whole numbers. Students learn to locate and label mixed numbers, convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions, compare values, and justify their reasoning.

The 27-slide editable presentation supports explicit teaching and guided checks. Colour games and hands-on resources provide active rehearsal, while five printable worksheets, a 22-slide question-and-answer quiz, a two-page assessment and an achievement rubric support independent practice, feedback and assessment. Matching answer pages follow each worksheet and assessment page in the Unit Plan PDF.
