This document discusses placing fractions on a number line. It explains that a fraction represents a piece of a whole, where the whole is equal to 1. The fraction belongs between 0 and 1 on the number line. It provides examples of drawing number lines divided into halves, thirds, fifths, and other fractions, where the number line is separated into equal pieces based on the fractional parts being represented. Activities are suggested to draw number lines for various fractions such as thirds, quarters, sixths, tenths and twelfths.
