This teaching slides resource introduces benchmark fractions and their decimal equivalents, building students' understanding of where ½, ¼ and ¾ sit on a number line and how each connects to its decimal form.
Slides work through each benchmark fraction individually - establishing its position on a number line and its decimal equivalent — before bringing all three together on a single number line with a reference table.
What's included:
Introduction slides defining fractions and establishing the three benchmark fractions (½, ¼, ¾) as fractions we know well
A consolidation slide showing all three benchmarks on one number line with a fraction-decimal reference table
A "Match the Benchmarks" practice slide — match each fraction to its decimal equivalent
