I can estimate the position of a number on a number line using fraction sense.
I can estimate the position of a number on a number line using fraction sense.
Integer - An integer is a number that has no fractional part - they are whole numbers. This includes the counting numbers e.g, 1, 2, 3 and zero.
Estimate - When we estimate, we find a value that is close enough to the right answer, usually with some thought or calculation involved.
Children may struggle to estimate the position of a mixed number on a number line if their 'fraction sense' is not secure.
What do you notice about the mixed number? Remember, the whole number part is the most significant part - looking at this whole number part, which integers must the mixed number sit between? What do you notice about the fractional part?
