Growing Cut and Paste

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to be an interactive activity where students are tasked with arranging mixed numbers in order from least to greatest. Each row contains a set of four mixed numbers enclosed in dashed lines, indicating that these are meant to be cut out. Students are expected to physically manipulate the numbers by cutting them out and pasting them in the correct sequence. This hands-on approach not only makes the activity more engaging but also allows for a kinesthetic learning experience.

The worksheet educates students on how to order mixed numbers, which are numbers consisting of a whole number and a fraction. By arranging them from least to greatest, students practice their understanding of both the whole number and fractional parts of these numbers. The activity strengthens their number sense and helps solidify their grasp of the size relationship between different mixed numbers. Additionally, the cutting and pasting process requires students to commit to their choices, providing a tactile reinforcement of the concept, which can be particularly beneficial for young learners or those who benefit from active engagement with learning materials.
