Division to Make Mixed Numbers

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a mathematical exercise sheet designed to assist students in converting improper fractions, where the numerator is larger than the denominator, to mixed numbers. It presents a list of ten improper fractions and provides spaces for students to write the equivalent mixed number. To the right of the fractions, there is a column labeled “Show division work here,” where students are encouraged to write out the steps of their division to find the mixed number. This layout aims to promote a clear and organized method for solving the problems.

The worksheet is teaching students the procedure for converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, which is an essential skill in mathematics. It reinforces the concept that a mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. By providing space for showing work, it encourages students to practice the division that is required for such conversions, helping them understand the relationship between numerators, denominators, and whole numbers. The exercise also helps in building division skills and enhances students’ understanding of fractions as numbers that can represent more than a whole.
