Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

First, TEST TUESDAY!, now that that's out of the way, today we looked at moving and transitioning from mixed numbers to improper fractions and improper fractions to mixed numbers. 

Improper Fractions have larger numerators than denominators, in plain terms, bigger number on top and smaller number on bottom. 

Mixed numbers have a whole number AND a fraction.  The process of moving from one to the other was what we practiced today.  Last day to WKCE testing is tomorrow.  Computers on Friday and I will be reminding the students about log-ins and passwords for the my.hrw.com site and also xtramath.org. 

Last thing: I thought it was cool that fractions or fracture have the origin in Latin from the word "fractus" which means broken.  Pretty cool fact.
