I can convert a quantity from an improper fraction to a mixed number using quarters.
I can convert a quantity from an improper fraction to a mixed number using quarters.
Mixed number - A mixed number is a whole number and a fraction combined.
Improper fraction - An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is greater than or equal to the denominator (the bottom number).
Children may not fully convert and may leave the fractional part of the mixed number as an improper fraction e.g. 13/4 = 2 and 5/4
Support via questioning: How many quarters make one whole? How many full groups of four quarters can you make? Emphasise the fractional part needs to have a numerator smaller than the denominator and take time to discuss why.
