🐸 Hop the Line
Can a fraction be bigger than 1?
A fraction is a piece of something, and a piece can’t be bigger than the whole thing… right? Let’s put a frog on a number line and count its hops.

4 hops of a quarter land on 1, so 4/4 = 1. Hop once more and you’re at 5/4, which is 1 and 1/4. Nothing stops the counting: 8/4 is 2, 12/4 is 3. Halves, thirds, tenths: the same rule works for every hop size.
