Fractions Lessons 6-7: Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

Need a clear way to explain mixed numbers and improper fractions without making it feel like a magic trick?

In this compilation lesson, Marie from This Child Can shows parents, tutors and teachers how to help children understand the link between improper fractions and mixed numbers. The first lesson shows how to turn an improper fraction into a mixed number by finding the whole numbers inside the fraction. The second lesson reverses the process, showing how to turn a mixed number back into an improper fraction by counting all the equal parts.

You’ll learn how to explain:

• what mixed numbers and improper fractions mean
• how the denominator tells us how many equal parts make one whole
• how to use visual models before moving to the written method
• how to connect improper fractions, mixed numbers and division
• how to avoid common mistakes, such as changing the denominator or losing the remainder

This video is ideal for adults helping children with fractions, especially children who need calm, visual, step-by-step maths support.
