Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers: Pizza

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

This activity helps students convert improper fractions to mixed numbers using pizza models. Designed for year 4 and 5 students.

Learning Objectives:

Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers.
Use visual models to understand the relationship between improper fractions and mixed numbers.
Develop problem-solving skills by applying fraction knowledge to real-life contexts.

How the Activity Works:

In this activity, students are given an improper fraction, such as 11 eighths, and are asked to colour the corresponding pizza models divided into eighths. By colouring the pizzas, students can visually see how the improper fraction converts into a mixed number (in this case, 11 eighths equals 1 and three eighths). This hands-on approach helps reinforce the conversion process and improves students' understanding of improper fractions and mixed numbers.
