Figures to Values

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a visual educational tool that combines graphical representation with numerical conversion of improper fractions to mixed numbers. It provides a table with three columns labeled “Figure,” “Improper Fraction,” and “Mixed Number.” For each row, there’s a grid of squares representing whole numbers and parts of a whole, with the first row’s grid partially shaded to represent the improper fraction given in the second column. Students are expected to shade the figures to match the given improper fractions and then write the corresponding mixed number in the last column.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the concept of improper fractions and how they can be converted into mixed numbers. The visual representation with grids helps students to understand that an improper fraction is made up of whole parts and a fraction part. By shading the grids, they can see the conversion process from a visual standpoint, reinforcing the mathematical operation involved. This exercise not only helps in grasping the concept of fraction conversion but also enhances their ability to visualize and understand the composition of mixed numbers.
