Content description

find equivalent representations of rational numbers and represent positive and negative rational numbers and mixed numbers on a number line

Elaborations

investigating equivalence of fractions using common multiples and a fraction wall, diagrams or a number line to show that a fraction such as $\frac{2}{3}$ is equivalent to $\frac{4}{6}$ and $\frac{6}{9}$ and therefore $\frac{2}{3}$ < $\frac{5}{6}$
expressing a fraction in simplest form using common divisors
applying and explaining the equivalence between fraction, decimal and percentage representations of rational numbers, for example, 16%, 0.16, $\frac{16}{100}$ and $\frac{4}{25}$ , using manipulatives, number lines or diagrams
representing positive and negative fractions and mixed numerals on various intervals of the real number line, including intervals that are not symmetrical about zero
