Mixed Number Worksheet: Scaffolding & Extension Tips 

In addition to individual student work time, use this (secondary keyword if applicable) worksheet as a:

• Math center activity
• Post-lesson exit ticket 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

Got fast finishers? Students who need a challenge can choose a mixed number to use and write a word problem that includes the chosen fraction.

For students needing extra support, have them draw or use fraction circles or another type of fraction manipulative to build each number. This will help them to see the concept and how the multiplication technique used on the worksheet makes sense.
