Description

This product is a wonderful introduction to converting mixed numbers and improper fractions. First, students will use pictures to write improper fractions and mixed numbers. As they use the pictures, students will discover and discuss how to convert mixed numbers and improper fractions. They will write down their findings, then solve several example problems.

This activity works best as a whole group. My improper fraction and mixed numbers task cards provide additional practice, which can be completed in partners, centers, or individually. You can access the task cards here.

My students love being "the teacher". When thy used this worksheet, they had to "walk" the rest of the clas through the steps of conversion. Everyone had a chance to take a turn.
