Mixed Numbers & Improper Fractions (B) WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 4th Grade
CCSS: 4.NF.B.3, 4.NF.B.3.B
CCSS Description: Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b. a. Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole. b. Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model. Examples: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 ; 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/8 ; 2 1/8 = 1 + 1 + 1/8 = 8/8 + 8/8 + 1/8. c. Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction. d. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

Mixed Numbers & Improper Fractions (B) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Practice fluency in or revisit converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions in this resource.
Section A asks children to change improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. There is no simplifying needed in this section made up of 9 questions.
Next up, section B requires students to simplify their answers before or after they turn mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa.
