Primary Subjects: Fractions, Number and Operations

Related Topics: comparing, fractions, number line, ordering, rational numbers

Determine the value of two fractions you have chosen (which are represented as points on a number line). Then find a fraction whose value is between your two fractions (using an arrow on the number line as a guide) and determine its value. Bounded Fraction Pointer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
