What is the top number of a fraction called?
The numerator!
100
What is the mixed number for this photo?
3 1/2
There are 3 wholes and 1/2 of a whole left over!
100
Which of these fractions represent an improper fraction?
3 1/2 OR 17/8
The correct answer would be 17/8 because an improper fraction has a numerator larger than its denominator.
100
What does equivalent mean?
It means that even though fractions have different denominators or numerators, they can still be equal to the same amount (think of a pizza!!)
100
Compare these two fractions using <, >, or =: 2/3 ? 1/2
2/3 > 1/2
200
What is the bottom number of a fraction called?
The denominator
200
What is the mixed number for this photo?
3 3/5
There are 3 wholes and 3/5 of a whole left over!!
200
What would the following fraction be as an improper fraction
The correct answer is
19/7 because there are 19 shaded pieces, and one whole is equal to 7 parts.
200
Write an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 10 for the following fraction. Show all of your work.
3/2
An equivalent fraction over 10 would be
15/10 OR 1 5/10 (because 10 fits into 15 once and there are 5 left over, your denominaor remains the same).
200
Compare these two fractions using <, >, or =: 3/4 ? 3/5
3/4 > 3/5
300
What does the numerator of a fraction represent?
It represents the amount of parts you have.
300
Write the mixed number for the following improper fraction!
20/6
3 2/6 left over
6 x 3 = 18 which means 6 can go into 20 about 3 times equally.
20-18 = 2 which means there is 2/6 left over.
300
Which fraction below represents the improper fraction: 23/4? 
The green squares! The coloured in squares mean they are equal to 1 whole. Therefore 4x5 = 20 pieces + 3 pieces remaining in the last square is equal to 19. The denominator is 4 because each square is made up of 4 pieces.
300
Create a set of 2 fractions that are equivalent to 1/6. Show your work.
Two equivalent fractions could be
2/12 or 3/18 because we multiplied 1/6 by 2 or by 3. There are lots of differet combinations!!

Put the following fractions in order from least to greatest: 5/8, 3/5, 1/2
1/2, 3/5, 5/8
400
What does the denominator represent in a fraction?
The total amount of pieces needed to make a whole (i.e., the whole).

8. Write 13/6 as a mixed number, and draw a picture to explain it.
2 1/6
6x2 = 12, which means 6 goes into 12 about 2 times equally.
13-12 = 1, which means there is 1/6 left over.
400
Convert this mixed number into an improper fraction! 3 4/6
The correct answer would be 22/6
3 x 6 = 18
18 + 3 = 22
And your denominaor always remains the same so the answer is 22/6
400
Simplify the following fraction into its simpliest form!
8/14
The simplest form of this fraction would be
8/2 = 4, 14/2 = 7
Therefore, the simplest form is 4/7 because you cannot divide 4 and 7 by another number equally to go smaller.
400
Which fraction is larger? 2/5 or 4/10? Use pictures and words to explain how you know which fraction is larger.
These fractions are equal to each other, therefore, none of them are larger than the other.
500
What is a fraction called that has a numerator larger than its denominator?
An improper fraction! (i.e., 5/2)
500
Is 14/8 represented as 3 2/8 as a mixed number? Why or why not? What should the correct answer be?
No, 3 2/8 would be wrong because as a improper fraction it would equal to (18/8).
The real answer should be 1 7/8 because 8+8 = 16 which is larger than 14 so, it can only fit into 14 one equal time. Therefore, that leaves 14-8 = 7 so there are 7/8 left over.
500
Convert this mixed number into an improper fraction and show a picture to explain your thinking.
4 1/5
The correct answer is
4x5 = 20
20 + 1 = 21
Your denominator will always be the same = 5
Therefore, your answer is 21/5
500
Jacob claims that 2/5 is equal to 7/20. Is he correct? Why or why not?
Use a photo to support your thinking!
Jacob would be incorrect.
There is no number that you can multiply 2 by to get to 7, that you could also multiply 5 by to get to 20.
For example: 5x4 = 20 but 2x4 = 8. Therefore the true equivalent would be 8/20.

Order these fractions from biggest to smallest.
2/8, 6/3, 5/6
6/3, 5/6, and 2/8
6/3 is greater than one 1 whole so it goes first.
5/6 is closer to 1 whole than 2/8 is so it goes second.
You are left with 2/8 which must go last!
