Following our work on fractions yesterday, we moved on to look at mixed numbers. The big number tells us how many wholes there are. A whole is completely coloured, with no white parts.
The smaller numbers, above and below the line, tell us what fraction of the part-coloured shape is coloured. The two board images above show how it is done.At home please finish page 67 and check your work carefully. Be sure that you have counted accurately. Mistakes are usually caused by carelessness, not by lack of understanding. Enjoy doing your homework.
