Mixed numbers and improper fractions worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help KS2 students understand and practice the concepts of mixed numbers and improper fractions. Activity 1 uses mixed number digit cards, where each student is tasked with representing a mixed number in four distinct ways. After completing the task, they swap their Representing Fractions Worksheets with a partner for review. This activity not only reinforces the concept of mixed numbers but also encourages peer learning and assessment.

Subsequent activities delve deeper into fractions. In Activity 2, children use whole number and proper fraction digit cards to represent fractions in various forms, while Activity 3 challenges them to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers using digit cards for denominators and numerators. Activity 4 reverses this process, with students creating mixed numbers and then converting them into improper fractions. Each activity includes a peer review step to ensure understanding and accuracy. The final Activity 5 invites creativity, asking students to either create a poster or write a rap summarising the steps for converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions, solidifying their learning in a memorable way. These activities aim to help students confidently represent and convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions and to express mathematical statements greater than 1 as a mixed number.
