This math topic focuses on identifying approximate locations of simple fractions on a number line. Students are asked to select the dot that best represents fractions such as 1/4, 1/6, 2/3, 1/5, 2/5, and 3/4 on unlabelled number lines without tick marks. It helps students improve their skills in visualizing and estimating the positions of fractions on a number line, enhancing their understanding and interpretation of fractions in a visual context.
