Introduce improper fractions by building beyond one whole, then rename each as a whole number plus a fraction, or as a mixed number. Locate these fractions on a number line to see how far beyond 1 they land, using fraction strips to model each step.
What's included:
Teaching slides introducing improper fractions, renaming fractions and mixed numbers, and locating fractions beyond one whole on a number line
Worked examples renaming fractions such as 4/3, 5/4 and 7/5 as mixed numbers
