Writing Mixed Number Fractions: Drawing Shapes and Breaking into Equal Parts

The video tutorial explains the concept of mixed number fractions by using visual examples. It begins by defining whole numbers and fractions, highlighting the roles of numerators and denominators. The tutorial then introduces mixed numbers, combining whole numbers and fractions, using a sandwich example. Finally, it presents a problem involving cookies cut into thirds to demonstrate how to calculate mixed numbers in practical scenarios.

What is a mixed number?

• A fraction with a numerator larger than the denominator

• A whole number divided by a fraction

• A combination of a whole number and a fraction

• A number greater than one

In the sandwich example, what is the mixed number when one whole sandwich and half of another are left?

• 1 1/2

• 2 1/2

• 1 1/3

• 2 1/3

How do you write a mixed number?

• Whole number only

• Whole number first, then fraction

• Fraction first, then whole number

• Fraction only

In the cookie problem, how many whole cookies did Dan eat?

• 3

• 2

• 4

• 1

What fraction of the third cookie did Dan eat in the cookie problem?

• 1/2

• 1/3

• 2/3
