Here are the topics that students can use a guide to study for their quiz.

1. Drawing a simple picture (rectangle or circle) and shading in the numerator so that it represents the fraction given.  Example- 1/2-show a circle divided into two equal parts and one part is shaded.



2. Identifying  what is a mixed number and an improper fraction. Example 7/4 is an improper fraction.

3.  Converting mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice-versa.  5/3 is equal to 1 2/3.

4. Showing lowest terms. Example  3/6 is equal to 1/2.
