Instructional Ideas

• Once learners have completed this worksheet, have them try it without the visual aids, observing whether or not they draw the figure in the same way
• Put this skill into practice in a recipe word problem or activity, during which learners must convert 6/8 of a cup to something they can actually use measuring cups for

Pros

• Visuals assist in breaking down the actual steps before learners are doing this mentally
• Some provide the denominator in the incomplete fraction while others provide the numerator
• Answers are included

Cons
