Converting Mixed Numbers To Fractions Practice Activities
Class 6 maths worksheets for changing mixed numbers into improper fractions using whole numbers, numerators, denominators, and clear step-by-step practice.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding the conversion
These Class 6 maths practice activities help children convert mixed numbers such as 2 3/5 into improper fractions by understanding how whole parts and fractional parts combine.
The printable worksheets include structured examples, independent questions, and space for working so learners can practise multiplying the whole number by the denominator, adding the numerator, and keeping the same denominator.
A mixed number has a whole number and a proper fraction. To write it as an improper fraction, children first find how many equal fractional parts are in the whole numbers. For 3 2/7, three wholes contain 21 sevenths, and 2 more sevenths make 23/7. The denominator stays 7 because the size of each part has not changed.
How the worksheets build the skill
The activities move from direct conversions to mixed sets that require careful reading. Learners practise identifying the whole number, numerator, and denominator before applying the rule: multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and place the result over the original denominator. This repeated structure supports fluency without turning the task into guessing.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to read each mixed number aloud: “four and one-third”. Then have them draw a small arrow from the whole number to the denominator to remind them of the multiplication step. After solving, they should check whether the new numerator is greater than the denominator; if it is not, the answer may not be an improper fraction.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for maths practice after introducing mixed numbers, as a short revision sheet, or in small-group support. They also work well in centres where children explain one conversion to a partner using vocabulary such as whole, fraction, denominator, numerator, and improper fraction.
Common errors to watch for
Some children add the whole number to the numerator before multiplying, change the denominator, or forget the fractional part after counting the wholes. Others write only the product, such as changing 2 3/5 to 10/5 instead of 13/5. Encourage them to show the middle step: 2 × 5 + 3.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets keep the layout clean, give enough working space, and focus on one precise Class 6 skill at a time. A child-friendly strategy is: “Multiply the whole, add the top, keep the bottom.” Saying this while pointing to each part helps learners connect the rule to the mixed number they see.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does converting a mixed number to a fraction mean?
It means rewriting a number with a whole part and a fraction part, such as 2 1/4, as one improper fraction, such as 9/4, without changing its value.
What rule should a Class 6 child use for this conversion?
Multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and write the answer over the same denominator. For example, 5 2/3 becomes (5 × 3 + 2)/3 = 17/3.
Should the denominator change when converting mixed numbers?
No. The denominator remains the same because the size of the fractional parts does not change; only the number of those parts is being counted.
How can I help my child avoid mistakes in these worksheets?
Ask your child to show the middle step for every problem, such as 4 × 6 + 5. This makes it easier to spot skipped addition, wrong multiplication, or a changed denominator.
Are these worksheets suitable for revision before fraction operations?
Yes. Converting mixed numbers to improper fractions is useful before adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing fractions, so these sheets make good preparation and revision practice.
