3.NF.A.1
Understand a fraction 1/b
as the quantity formed by 1
part when a whole is
partitioned into b equal
parts; understand a
fraction a/b as the quantity
formed by a parts of size
1/b.
3.NF.A.2
Represent a fraction 1/b on
a number line diagram.
3.NF.A.2.a
Represent a fraction 1/b on
a number line diagram by
defining the interval from 0
to 1 as the whole and
partitioning it into b equal
parts. Recognize that each
part has a size 1/b and that
the endpoint of the part
based at 0 locates the
number 1/b on the number
line.
