Find Equal Fractions on Two Number Lines
Five pairs of number lines from 0 to 1, one above the other (for example fourths and eighths, halves and sixths, fifths and tenths). The top line marks a fraction with a dot and a dashed guide drops to the bottom line; students count the parts on the bottom line and complete the equivalent fraction. The key marks the matching point in red and fills in the numerator.

About this worksheet
Five pairs of number lines from 0 to 1, one above the other (for example fourths and eighths, halves and sixths, fifths and tenths). The top line marks a fraction with a dot and a dashed guide drops to the bottom line; students count the parts on the bottom line and complete the equivalent fraction. The key marks the matching point in red and fills in the numerator. Expect it to take fourth graders about 15 to 20 minutes with careful work. Shade the parts lightly with a colored pencil to see each fraction.
Tips for using it
- Fold a strip of paper into equal parts to check a tricky one.
- Let children hop with a finger or a small toy on the line before they draw hops with a pencil.
- Always mark the start number with a dot first; most mistakes come from counting the start as a hop.
- Say "forward" for adding and "back" for subtracting while hopping, so the direction sticks.
