Here's a little something to contemplate....
What does the word "improper" mean? Incorrect, inaccurate, not in accordance with accepted rules.
Does it make sense that some of our students might view an improper fraction as a fraction that isn't right? Is there another way to name a fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator? Can we say "a fraction greater than 1?"
Writing a fraction where the numerator is larger than the denominator is perfectly acceptable, after all.....
Just food for thought today.
