Six number lines from 0 to 1, split into thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths and tenths, with two arrows on each. Children count the jumps from 0 to 1 for the bottom number, then the jumps from 0 to the arrow for the top number, and write the fraction in the boxes. It shows a fraction as a number with its own place on the line, between 0 and 1.
