Improper Fractions Cards

In Comparing Fractions Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages Mathematics

5 pages|Grades: 4 - 6

A set of 30 cards displaying various improper fractions.

Use these flashcards in a variety of ways when teaching fractions to your students.

Some ways to use these cards:

Have students determine the mixed number equivalent to each card.
Have students flip over two cards and write a comparative statement using both fractions.
Have students flip over a card and write a fraction that is greater than and less than the given fraction.
Have students flip over a card and decompose the fraction three different ways.

These flashcards work beautifully when printed on cardstock and placed into a math center.
