Mixed Numbers & Improper Fractions Doodle Notes

Understanding and Converting Between Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions - Visual Interactive "Doodle Notes"

When students color or doodle in math class, it activates both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. There are proven benefits of this cross-lateral brain activity:
- new learning
- relaxation (less math anxiety)
- visual connections
- better memory & retention of the content!

Students fill in the sheets, answer the questions, and color, doodle or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on.

Content includes:
- what each different format is best for (improper fraction vs. mixed number)
- converting between the two forms
- why it works & models
- example
- reminders and visuals

Reviews from other teachers:

-Love this. I created a whole year bundle of notes as we are not sure when we will be able to return to school. All students received this bundle (journal) and use it to review their understanding. Thank you!

-My students loved using this resource for math class. They were engaged and had no trouble getting started. It didn't take much time to prepare this resource, so it was easy for me to use.

-I used this resource to reinforce the mixed number and improper fraction conversions and my students loved it. It is beautifully designed and hits all the steps and main reasoning for the concepts of each conversion.

-Worked perfectly for my lesson and definitely helped my students understand how to change mixed numbers and improper fractions! I especially liked the part where my students had to dot and stripe the numbers to show what is multiplied and what is added.

-This was a fun way to review the topic. Students really enjoyed it! Thank you!
