Activities to practise beyond the quiz
- Supported by the guided activity; selecting an MCQ does not demonstrate this action.
- VC2M7N03-C01An improper fraction can be separated into whole parts and a fractional remainder. Simplify only by dividing numerator and denominator by the same nonzero factor.
- VC2M7N03-C02A negative fraction lies left of zero. Moving right increases its value, even while it remains negative.
- VC2M7N03-C03Equivalent fractions occupy the same point. Use a common denominator or terminating decimal when it makes comparison clearer.
- VC2M7N03-C04Constructing representations of positive/negative rational and mixed numbers and explaining equivalence.
