Sixth graders practice their fraction and number line skills by identifying where a given fraction is located on the line. Provide mathematicians with a colored pencil for easy identification of the fraction.

Bake-up some cookie fractions with your class in order to determine improper fractions and mixed numbers. Young bakers calculate cookie orders given on an order form. From their calculations, they write the improper fraction, mixed...

This series of math presentations by Monica Yuskaitis is outstanding! This installment teaches youngsters about fractions and mixed numbers. The graphics, examples, and text throughout this presentation are engaging and should help...

Here is an excellent presentation on the difference between mixed numbers and improper fractions. Young mathematicians are given a clear definition of each, and the ensuing slides give lots of great practice in calculating these values....

Sal explains proper and improper fractions. He labels each part of the fractions using different colors. Note: This video would be best used for those who just need a quick reminder as to the definition of proper and improper fractions....

This video on changing improper fractions to mixed numbers would nicely compliment the Khan Academy video on writing mixed numbers as improper fractions. Sal first shows students how to convert improper fractions. Then, he uses drawings...

The method of converting a mixed number to an improper fraction is fully explained in this video. Sal completely details how and why one is able to convert a mixed number. He uses multiple colors and drawings to demonstrate the...

Race to extreme fluency. Scholars play a car race online game where the faster they choose the answer to fraction addition and subtraction problems, the faster their cars go. Pupils play against the computer or other players online....

Mix things up a little to be improper. The presenter shows three example of changing a mixed number to an equivalent improper fraction. Scholars work several practice problems and application questions to refine the process.

What's the proper way to convert fractions? A short video shows three quick examples of converting an improper fraction to a mixed number. Pupils practice doing their own conversions to better understand the skill.

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Seven questions make up an interactive designed to boost mathematician's skills in dividing whole numbers by mixed fractions. Practice comes with a visual aid with movable parts. Questions types include fill in the blank,...

What makes fractions equivalent? Learners first use an interactive that shows equivalent fractions with fraction models and number lines. They then play a game where they must match sets of equivalent fractions with different denominators.

There's nothing improper in learning about fractions. Scholars apply an interactive to explore models for proper and improper fractions. They then answer a set of questions in a game that requires building models for given fractions and...

Is it proper to write an improper fraction as a mixed number? The resource first provides the definition of a mixed number. Pupils then learn the procedures to perform conversions between mixed numbers and proper fractions.

Locate types of fractions on the number line. Using a number line, the video shows where the location is depending on fraction type. By thinking about fractions' locations, scholars compare the types and use that information to estimate...

There is more than one way to determine a sum. Scholars demonstrate their understanding of the decomposition of fractions similar to the decomposition of whole numbers. The short task requires pupils to determine which sums of fractions...

Take two steps back. Given 5/3 on a number line, the task asks pupils to determine where one goes. The activity is the most demanding in cognitive complexity of three tasks dealing with the placement of fractions on a number line.

Practice working with number lines with a simple, versatile worksheet. On a number line starting at zero and continuing beyond one, third graders decide where to place the fraction seven-fourths.

Practice adding and subtracting improper fractions with pineapple slices. Young mathematicians move whole pineapple slices to visualize the addition of the 2/5s that is on Sally's plate. Pupils also use a combination of mixed numbers and...

No, you can't actually smell these 13 scratch-n-sniff stickers. But you can group them into equal groups of four, with one sticker remaining. Using that information, learners create a mixed number based on the improper fraction, 13/4.

Make fractions fun and interesting by using a brochure form. Young mathematicians practice and gain a better understanding of how to add and subtract fractions, simplify fractions, and find LCD (least common denominator). The resources...
