[size=100]Locate or identify fractions on a number line from 0 to 1. Move up to five pointers (four blue and one red) and select the precision of the pointers. Adjust the number line by changing the number of intervals and the hash mark labels. The "precision" sliders control the amount to which the pointer value labels are rounded.[br][br]The similar app [url=https://www.geogebra.org/m/WT46bNtV]Where is the Fraction? (0 to 2)[/url] has a number line that extends from 0 to 2.[br][br][/size]Contact us at [url=mailto:ptierneyfife@edc.org]ptierneyfife@edc.org[/url] if this resource should be updated, or with questions or suggestions.
