  1. Learn to convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

  2. Vocabulary improper fraction proper fraction

  3. An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator such as . 11 __ 4 Reading Math is read as “eleven-fourths.” 11 ___ 4

  4. Whole numbers can be written as improper fractions. The whole number is the numerator, and the denominator is 1. For example, 7 = . When the numerator is less than the denominator, the fraction is called a proper fraction. 7 __ 1

  5. You can write an improper fraction as a mixed number.
