  5. I think the videos that they put on the class blog are just great because they tell you where you put fractions on a number line so if you don’t know where to put a fraction on a number line then I would watch those videos. From Brian.

  6. Dear 4th grade,
    The way I would convert 53/5 is to divide 5 into 53 would be 10 r 3 and in a fraction it would be 10 3/5. That is your answer to 53/5 in a mixed number.

    1. Annabella, thank you for giving this a try. You are correct! One way to convert 53/5 into a mixed number is to divide 53 by 5 which gives you 10. Then the remainder: 3, becomes your numerator and the denominator stays the same for an answer of 10 3/5. I wonder if someone else will think of a different strategy?

    2. Dear Mr. Pahl
      Another way to convert 53/5
      5x10=50+3=53 so the answer is 10r3

  7. Dear Kyle,
    I like when you did a mix fraction and I also like what we did 9 time 6=54 then you did 54+4=58 and the answer was 58 6

  15. Dear Charlize and Kyle,
    Thank you for showing us how to go between improper fractions and mixed numbers! It really helps me to hear someone talk it out, since I still have a hard time with going between the different values. I am curious though, you got an answer of 9 and 2/6 when converting 56/6 Would you simplify the answer down more, or leave it like that?

    Sincerely, Kristin from Mr. Pahl's Western class
