Pupil outcome: I can decide on the most efficient strategy to compare and order fractions. Key learning points: - There are many ways to compare and order fractions. - If the numerator is the same, the greater the denominator, the...

Pupil outcome: I can multiply a mixed number by a whole number where the fractions bridge a whole. Key learning points: - Partition the mixed number into a whole number and a fraction. - Multiply the whole number part by the whole number...

Pupil outcome: I can use awareness that fractions of the form a/b, where a>b, are greater than one and so convert from mixed numbers to improper fractions. Key learning points: - Fractions where the numerator is greater than the...

Pupil outcome: I can use the mathematical structures that underpin the addition and subtraction of fractions. Key learning points: - The denominators of each fraction should split the whole into the same number of equal pieces. - The...

Pupil outcome: I can use awareness that fractions of the form a/b, where a>b, are greater than one and so convert from improper fractions to mixed numbers. Key learning points: - Fractions where the denominator and numerator are the same...

Pupil outcome: I can convert from fractions to decimals and back again using the converter key on a calculator. Key learning points: - A calculator can be used to simplify fractions. - A calculator can be used to convert fractions to...

Pupil outcome: I can multiply a proper fraction by a whole number where the product is greater than a whole. Key learning points: - If 3 groups of 4 are equal to 12 then 3 groups of 4 fifths are equal to 12 fifths. - If the product is an...

Pupil outcome: I can use the mathematical structures that underpin the division of fractions to divide a whole number by a fraction. Key learning points: - A diagram can help to show the underlying structure. - The whole number can be...

Pupil outcome: I can generalise and fluently use strategies to multiply with mixed numbers. Key learning points: - Mixed numbers can be converted into improper fractions. - It is not necessary to convert both fractions. - Each fraction...

Pupil outcome: I can use my knowledge of arithmetic procedures involving fractions to solve problems. Key learning points: - When calculating with fractions and decimals, a common form can be easier. - A calculator removes the need for a...

Pupil outcome: I can appreciate that, for any two numbers, there is always another number in between them. Key learning points: - Using a number line you can find numbers between two integers. - Using a number line you can find numbers...

Pupil outcome: I can add mixed numbers crossing the whole. Key learning points: - Improper fractions can be added in the same way as proper fractions. - A mixed number can be partitioned into its parts when adding it to improper or...

Pupil outcome: I can subtract a proper fraction from a mixed number crossing the whole. Key learning points: - Rods or number lines can be used to support subtracting fractions from whole or mixed numbers. - Mixed numbers can be...

Pupil outcome: I can compare and order fractions using a range of techniques. Key learning points: - Two fractions can be compared when they have the same numerator. - Two fractions can be compared by comparing their respective...

This video explains what a fraction is, how to write a fraction and the different types of fractions. We also explain what numerator and denominator means. Practice questions and answers are at the end of the video.

This video teaches learners about improper fractions and mixed numbers.

A video entitled “Multiples in the Numerator” models how to determine whether given improper fractions are equivalent to whole numbers.

What are mixed numbers?<br/>
How to find mixed numbers on a number line.

Welcome to Judge Taylor's Courtroom where the jury will help determine if the sum of two fractions with like denominators is a proper or improper fraction. The penalty for being an improper fraction is to become a mixed number.
