Using Fraction Strips to Teach Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

All Freebies

What a special day for me! I am Andrea Kerr with For the Love of Teaching Math. I have been a contributor for Classroom Freebies Too for a few months now. I have loved posting there and have enjoyed the interaction with those followers. Imagine my excitement when I got an e-mail inviting me to now contribute here on Classroom Freebies!! I promise, I won’t disappoint. All of my posts are geared for mathematics instruction, and most of my posts are more upper elementary and middle school level. I hope that even if you are in the lower levels, you will find some of the things I offer useful as well. Some of the hands-on manipulatives I use are universal from lower grades on up to upper grades. 
My first post that I am sharing with you is how I teach changing mixed numbers to improper fractions and improper fractions to mixed numbers using fraction strips. Almost all of my lessons start with a hands-on activity, a pictorial activity, and a fun reinforcement game or activity. This one is no different. What is the freebie you ask? It is a set of fraction strips large enough to use for demonstration purposes. I printed them out. Laminated them. Put magnet tape on the back, and placed them on my whiteboard.
I hope you enjoy this post as well as the many more to come!
