Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
E.g. 1. Use several pictorial representations (or card cut outs) to introduce improper fractions (i.e. where the fraction is bigger than 1 or the numerator in larger than the denominator). Examples are 9/4 and 7/6 (i.e. nine-fourths and seven-sixths) and show how they are expressed as mixed fractions (i.e. 2 1/4 and 1 1/6). Ask pupils to change given improper fractions to mixed fractions
E.g. 2. Ask pupils to express given coloured mixed fractions as improper fractions or draw and colour given improper fraction (e.g. seven-fourths, eleven-eights, etc.)
E.g. 3. Use number line to present more mixed fractions for pupils to identify and state their improper fractions
The fractions are set as stacked numerator over denominator and are written inline.
