This math topic focuses on identifying and estimating the positions of improper fractions on unmarked number lines. Students are asked to select which dot on the number line most closely approximates a given improper fraction, such as 7/4, 5/4, 4/3, 3/2, and 5/3. Each problem presents a number line and several potential answers (marked as dots), among which students must choose the most accurate representation of the fraction. This exercise aids in enhancing students’ understanding of fractions and their spatial representation on number lines.
