When we teach fractions, we usually begin with pies or pizzas. We cut them up, teach the fraction names and such. Then Common Cored Standard decides that students must know how to put fractions on the number line.
All of my students that have never done this before completely flipped out on me (so did their parents). It was just too strange and difficult to figure out. I came up with an activity that takes the simplicity of a pizza and adds the number line to it.
