Plotting Fractions with Different Denominators on a Number Line | 3rd Grade Math Minilesson

In this interactive video minilesson, students will learn how to plot fractions with different denominators on a number line by using the strategy of creating equivalent fractions. We’ll break it down step-by-step and show students how to multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to make fractions easier to place on a number line. Perfect for third grade classrooms, homeschool settings, or math intervention groups, this lesson is designed to build conceptual understanding of fractions and number lines. 👉 This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 3.NF.A.3: Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size. 🔢 What We Cover: How to read and label a number line What to do when the number line has a different denominator than the fraction How to multiply the numerator and denominator to make equivalent fractions Visual strategies and clear examples to build confidence! 📚 Use this video for: ✔️ Whole-class instruction ✔️ Small group math ✔️ Independent practice ✔️ Review or reteach ✔️ Flipped classroom lessons #Fractions #ThirdGradeMath #EquivalentFractions #MathMinilesson #CommonCoreMath #3NFA3 #ElementaryMath #MathForKids #FractionNumberLines #MathHelp
