Improper Fractions & Mixed Numbers – Year 5

Give Year 5 students a clear, connected pathway into improper fractions and mixed numbers. This complete mathematics unit begins by distinguishing fraction forms and reasoning about values greater than one, then develops conversion in both directions using quotient and remainder, multiplication and addition, simplification, reverse checking and number-line interpretation.

The 17-slide editable presentation supports explicit teaching and guided practice. A colour sorting activity and matching game provide active rehearsal, while five printable worksheet sets offer support, core and reasoning practice. A 22-slide question-and-answer quiz, two-page assessment and five-level rubric support review, feedback and assessment. Matching answer pages follow their worksheet or assessment page in the Unit Plan PDF.
