Mixed Numbers & Improper Fractions (A) WORKSHEET
Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. Examples: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 ; 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/8 ; 2 1/8 = 1 + 1 + 1/8 = 8/8 + 8/8 + 1/8.
Mixed Numbers & Improper Fractions (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Here your learners will be guided through converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.
In section A, students are tasked with converting mixed numbers to improper fractions. The section begins with an example and through the next 6 questions there are prompts to aid learners get to grips with the process and calculations involved in these conversions. This resource encourages students to consider the whole number as a fraction with the same denominator as the fractional part and then adding these to form the improper fraction.
Next up, students will complete this process in reverse by converting improper fractions to mixed numbers. Again, the section starts with an example and then guides learners through the first few questions using the same method as section A.
