The zipper on Robert’s jacket is 1 foot long. It breaks on the first day of winter. He can only zip it 8/12 of the way before it gets stuck.
Draw and label a number line to show how far Robert can zip his jacket.
1. Write number bonds as indicated. Partition and label the number line to show the unit fractions of the number bond. Don’t forget to rename the 0 and 1 as fractions of the given unit.
2. Circle all the fractions above that are equal to 1. Write them in a number sentence below.
3. What pattern do you notice in the fractions that are equivalent to 1? Following this pattern, how would you write the next whole as a fraction?
4. In an Art class, Mr. Joselyn gave everyone a 1 foot skewer to measure and cut. Vivian broke hers into 5 equal pieces, and Scott broke his into 7 equal pieces. Scott said to Vivian, “The total length of my stick must be longer than yours because I have 7 pieces and you only have 5.” Is Scott correct? Use words, pictures, or a number line to help you explain.
