Sixteen conversions: on the left, eight improper fractions such as 17/5 to write as mixed numbers (17 divided by 5 is 3 remainder 2, so 3 2/5); on the right, eight mixed numbers such as 2 3/4 to write as improper fractions (2 times 4 plus 3 is 11, so 11/4). Children can check one way with the other. Every fraction part is already in its simplest form.
