Fraction Conversion Activities Guide

The document provides instructions for classroom activities to practice converting between proper, improper, and mixed fractions using various materials. Students will work in groups to complete tasks like using fraction strips or circles to convert between fraction types. One example is given demonstrating how to use three paper strips folded into halves, fourths, and eighths to show that 1/2, 2/4, and 4/8 are equivalent fractions.

Example: Skills : Convert proper fraction into equivalent fraction. Materials : 3 equal sizes Paper Strips Methods: 1. Teacher asked pupils to fold a paper strips into halves as shown below.

2.

Shade one part and naming the fraction

3.

Take the second equal strips paper. Fold into 4 equal sizes (fourths) Shade 2 equals part and naming the fraction.

4.

Take the second equal strips paper. Fold into eight equal parts (eights) Shade 4 equals part and naming the fraction.

5.

The pupils compare the shaded part between 3 papers and state what they find with the value of the shaded part. The pupils state that the three strips have the equal shaded part. The fraction for the first strip is . The fraction for the second strip is 2/4. The fraction for the third strips is 4/8.

6.

The pupils make conclusion that , 2/4 and 4/8 have the same value. So 2/4 and 4/8 are equivalents fraction for .
