1. Objectives
LO: I can convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa using diagrams.

2. Steps to Success convert – to change from one form to another
mixed number – a whole number and a fraction
improper fraction – a fraction larger than one whole; the numerator is larger than the denominator

3. Improper Fractions
A fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator. They are BIG HEADED!! 8 = 4

4. Write the improper fraction:
Numerator.. How many parts do we have in total? 7 4 =
Denominator.. How many parts as EACH whole been split into?

5. Write the improper fraction:
Numerator.. How many parts do we have in total? 11 2 =
Denominator.. How many parts as EACH whole been split into?

6. 1 Mixed Numbers 3 = 4 They’re a bit mixed up!
A mixed number has a part that is a whole and a part that is a fraction.
They’re a bit mixed up! 3 1 = 4

7. Write the mixed number:
How many wholes are there?
How many fractions/parts are there? 1 3 = 2

8. Write the mixed number:
How many wholes are there?
How many fractions/parts are there? 2 2 = 3

9. CHANGE: A mixed number to Improper Fraction
Multiply the whole number by the denominator
Add your answer to the numerator
Put that number on top of the denominator 1 5 2 = 2 2
The denominator always stays the SAME!

10. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
1) Multiply 2) Add 3) On top! 1 9 4 2 2

11. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
1) Multiply 2) Add 3) On top! 2 11 3 3 3

12. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:2 12 2 5 5
