💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used as a practice activity after introducing the concept of fractions greater than 1 (improper fractions) and mixed numbers to Year 4 students. It can be used in class, as homework, or as a revision tool. For students who are struggling, provide concrete materials such as fraction circles or bars to help them visualise the fractions. Encourage them to draw their own diagrams to represent the fractions. A common mistake is confusing the numerator and denominator, so emphasise the meaning of each. For students who are confident, extend the activity by asking them to create their own improper fractions and mixed numbers, and then convert between the two. You could also challenge them to compare and order fractions greater than 1.
