Abstract
This chapter focuses on a set of activities that took place on November 10, 1993 during the fifteenth session of a yearlong study of how fourth-grade students build fraction ideas. The first activity of the session challenges the students to compare and order unit fractions and is followed by students placing the unit fractions as well as proper fractions and mixed numbers on a line segment between zero and one that is later extended to the interval between zero and two.
