Comparing All Three worksheet 4

Mix things things up in your elementary math class with a series of problem-solving exercises. Presented with a series of mixed number word problems, young mathematicians are asked to solve them by using either visual fraction...

Approach fractions with these visual models which serve to reinforce numerators and denominators as well as simplifying improper fractions. Scholars examine segmented shapes and fill in a fraction to represent the shaded region. For the...

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...

Here is a great video explaining how to multiply a fraction by a whole number. Sal shows students how to put a whole number over 1 in order to multiply it by a fraction. He simplifies his answer and writes it as a mixed number.

Before Sal can divide a mixed number, he has to rewrite it as an improper fraction. He explains that dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying it by its reciprocal and that you can "cancel out" numbers to make multiplying easier.

The first step in adding mixed numbers is to change them into improper fractions. Secondly, make sure the denominators are the same. If they are not the same, then find a common denominator. Make the proper conversions to the numerator...
