Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
E.g. 1. Use number line to locate one eight by defining the interval from 0 to 1 as the whole and partitioning it into 8 equal parts
E.g. 2. Ask pupils to draw several lines, 30 units each, and mark the ends 0 and 1. For each line ask them to partition the interval from 0 to 1 into each of the following unit fractions 1/2, 1/3, 1/5, 1/6, and 1/10. E.g. 3. Ask pupils to use the number chart they have drawn to read fractions that are equivalent e.g. 1/3 = 2/6 = 3/6 .
All the fractions here are set as stacked numerator over denominator and are written inline. E.g. 3 prints the chain as one-third = two-sixths = three-sixths, which is what the page shows.
