Converting Improper Fractions to Mixed Numbers

This video tutorial covers improper fractions and mixed numbers. It begins with a recap of improper fractions, explaining that they have numerators greater than or equal to their denominators, representing values greater than one. The tutorial uses visual aids, such as donuts and circles, to demonstrate how to convert improper fractions into mixed numbers. Examples include converting 5/2 to 2 1/2 and 4/3 to 1 1/3. The video concludes with an interactive practice session for students to apply what they've learned.
