Aim: How can we use division to change an improper fraction to a mixed number? Prior knowledge: Find the number of wholes and halves that are the same as 8 3

means I have 8 amounts, each amount equals 1/3

1 whole + 1 whole + part of a whole I combine them like this: Three Thirds (1 whole) Three thirds (1 whole) Two Thirds (part of a whole) 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1 whole + 1 whole + part of a whole A mixed number will have a whole number and a part (fractional) number

Let’s write this as a mixed number! =
