Write these fractions in simplest terms.
A simplified fraction has the same value as the original
fraction. You must find the greatest common factor of
the numerator and the denominator
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by that
number until the only factor they have in common is 1.

I can… Estimate products of fractions
Round down to 0
Round to 1/2
Round up to 1
Round to 0, ½ or 1 whole.
If the numerator is a
lot smaller than the
denominator, round
the fraction down to
0.
Ex: ¼ ≈ 0
If the numerator is
about half of the
denominator, round
the fraction to ½.
If the numerator is
almost as large as
the denominator,
round the fraction
to 1.
Ex: 7/8 ≈ 1
5/6 ≈ ____
1/7≈_____
3/9 ≈____
8/9≈_____
Ex: 2/5 ≈ 1/2
2 1/8 ≈____ 4 5/6≈_____
Learning Target:
I can… convert mixed numbers and improper fractions
Mixed to Improper: Multiply denominator by whole
number and add numerator.
