Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Counting tick marks instead of equal spaces, which gives the wrong denominator on a Grade 3 number line.
• Treating every tick after 0 as 1/2, regardless of how many equal parts the whole was actually partitioned into.
• Forgetting that fractions like 4/4, 3/3, and 6/6 all equal 1, and that fractions past these values are greater than 1.
