Know Your Fractions – Mixed numbers and Improper fractions are task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their understanding of a range of fractional concepts.
Converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers is an important step and time needs to be invested to allow students the chance to build their confidence to do so fluently.
The student with a developed ability to convert with fluency will ensure more complex fractional concepts introduced in high school are met with an established confidence.
As students work through the questions, they also develop a greater understanding of the variety of ways a fraction can be visually represented. This requires a higher level of thinking than simply continuing to use the same visual representation.
While setting an overall time limit is useful, it is important not to overstress time and urgency as students require a slightly deeper concentration to work properly and should be encouraged to work at the pace that works for them.
The fractional concepts used for mixed numbers and improper fractions:
- Fraction with a numerator and denominator
- Parts of a whole
- Number Line
- In words
- Fraction of a group
- Although these cards are commonly used as task cards, they have also been used successfully in math centers or rotations.
This resources contains:
- 19 cards (18 task cards & 1 title card)
- A total of 36 questions (2 questions per card)
- Student recording sheet
- Answer key
- Complete PDF and individual PNG files of the cards also included
Instructions:
- Print, laminate and cut the individual cards. (p. 2-6)
- Print student sheet (p. 7) and provide each student with a worksheet
- Distribute the cards around the room (or allocate your desired number of cards for use in a math rotation or center). Students may start at any number and work their way through in any order, but it is helpful to remind students to write the answer in the same numbered answer box i.e., if they are on card number 12, they should write their answer in answer box number 12

Know Your Fractions Task Cards - Conceptual Understanding Complete Bundle
**Know Your Fractions – Complete Conceptual Understanding Bundle** are task cards designed to provide students with opportunities to improve their understanding of a range of fractional concepts. Converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers is an important step and time needs to be invested to allow students the chance to build their confidence to do so fluently. Likewise, simplifying and the ability to recognize an equivalent fraction quickly and easily is a skill that takes practice. The student with a developed ability to convert with fluency will ensure more complex fractional concepts introduced in high school are met with an established confidence. In Concept Switch, students will add and subtract fractions (Level 2 only add); however, the cards are specially designed so that students are required to mentally switch between different fractional concepts for every card. As students work through the questions, they develop a greater understanding of the variety of ways a fraction can be visually represented. This requires a higher level of thinking than simply adding fractions that continuously uses the same visual representation. While setting an overall time limit is useful, it is important not to overstress time and urgency as students require a slightly deeper concentration to work properly and should be encouraged to work at the pace that works for them. The fractional concepts included in the cards include: * Fraction with a numerator and denominator * Parts of a whole * Number Line * In words * Fraction of a group * Decimals (Level 2 Concept Switch only) * Percentages (Level 2 Concept Switch only) * Although these cards are commonly used as task cards, they have also been used successfully in math centers or rotations. This resources contains: * A total of 88 cards (84 task cards and 1 title card for each set) * A total of 120 questions * Student recording sheets * Answer keys * Complete PDF and individual PNG files of the cards also included Instructions: * Print, laminate and cut the individual cards. * Print student sheet and provide each student with a worksheet * Distribute the cards around the room (or allocate your desired number of cards for use in a math rotation or center). Students may start at any number and work their way through in any order, but it is helpful to remind students to write the answer in the same numbered answer box i.e., if they are on card number 12, they should write their answer in answer box number 12 * Check answers Enjoy!
