I can multiply a mixed number by a whole number where the fractions do not bridge a whole.

Repesent - To represent something is to show it in a different way.
Mixed number - A mixed number is an improper fraction written as its whole number part plus the fractional part, where the fractional part is a proper fraction.
Partition - Partition means to split an object or value down into smaller parts.
Pupils find it difficult to represent the problem as an expression or equation as they misinterpret what the whole is.
Draw attention to what the whole is in each example. You might like to build up each image with a whole at a time, describing the fraction of the whole that is shaded/represented.
