Mixed Number and Improper Fraction Bingo
Background For Teachers:
Some work with renaming from one form to the other should have taken place
before playing the bingo game. It is useful to look at models of renaming between
the forms, instead of going straight to the abstract computation of it. This
helps students develop a better understanding of the process.
This sample shows modeling with rectangles. This is a great use for Fraction
Circles or Fraction Factory pieces as well as any handmade equivalent fraction
sets. Don’t leave out the modeling! When making the connection to the
symbolic make sure to discuss the fraction bar as another division symbol.
