Activity 1
 Activity 2

Topic: Plot rational numbers on number line.

Objective: To learn how to plot rational numbers on number line.
Required Material: Scale and Pencil
Pre-requisite knowledge:
1. Knowledge of proper and improper fractions
2. Knowledge of rational numbers
Procedure:
A. Plot rational number on the number line
i Draw a number line
ii Given fraction is a proper fraction so it will lie between 0 and 1
iii Divide the portion between 0 to 1 into 8 equal parts and label
the 7th part which represent the rational number
 B. Plot rational number on the number line
i Draw a number line
ii Given fraction is a proper negative fraction so it will lie between
-1 and 0
iii Divide the portion between -1 to 0 into 6 equal parts and label
the 5th part which represent the rational number

C. Plot rational number on the number line

i Draw a number line
ii Given fraction is An improper fraction and can be written as
so it will lie between 1 and 2
iii Divide the portion between 1 to 2 into 4 equal parts and label
the 3rd part which represent the rational number

D. Plot rational number on the number line

i Draw a number line
ii Given fraction is an improper negative fraction and can be
written as so it will lie between -3 and -2
iii Divide the portion between -3 to -2 into 2 equal parts and label
the 1st part which represent the rational number

Observation:
We observe that proper positive fractions lie between 0 to 1
whereas proper negative fractions lie between -1 to 0 and to plot
improper fractions, they are to be converted into mixed fractions
