The document defines improper fractions and mixed numbers, and provides examples for converting between the two forms. Specifically, it explains that an improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator, and can be converted to a mixed number by determining how many whole parts there are. Students are given examples like 6/3 = 2, 10/3 = 3 1/3, and instructed to complete practice problems converting improper fractions to mixed numbers.

1. Improper Fraction Mixed Number By the end of this lesson, you will be able to Define and identify an improper fraction and mixed number Convert an improper fraction to a mixed number

2. We know that 3/3 looks like: And 1 looks the same. What does 4/4 look like? 1 looks the same! If the numerator and denominator are the same, you can convert it to the number 1.

3. But what about 6/3? We know that 3 is the denominator, so we have something with 3 pieces. But 6 pieces are taken…Huh?? How?? What if a candy bar has 3 pieces and we eat 2 candy bars…What would that look like? We have a bar split into 3, and ended up eating 6 pieces…6 out of 3, 6/3

4. 6/3 = Improper Fraction Improper fraction: greater numerator than denominator It is up to us to convert the number: How many candy bars do we have here? 2…6/3 is the same as 2.

5. What about 10/3? The denominator is 3, so we have something broken into 3 pieces…but how many do we have? We can rewrite 10/3 as a MIXED NUMBER:

6. Try these: Draw a representation for and convert into a mixed number: 5/2 14/6 15/3 9/4
