On 29.08.16 Mr A took a workshop on improper fractions. An improper fraction is when the numerator is bigger than the denominater. Here is an example: 24/5 but we had to turn it into a mixed numeral and here is another example: 9/7 = 1 whole and 2/7 so imagine that there were two circles and they were both cut into seven pieces and you would shade in all of one circle and then shade in two of the other circle and the bottom number of 9/7 will always stay the same and you shaded in 2 of the second circle so that would be the first number. I hope you learned something!
What a great explanation Fern! I'm learning all the time that you are becoming a clever mathematician! Keep up the fantastic work.
