Fractions Greater Than One Whole Worksheet, Grades 3-4
Improper fractions trip students up the moment they realize the numerator is bigger than the denominator. This fractions greater than one whole worksheet builds that bridge from confusion to fluency with a clear visual model and twelve practice problems.
The sheet opens with a boxed definition and a circle model showing 7/4 as two wholes and three-fourths, giving your student a concrete anchor before any pencil hits the page. Section A asks students to rewrite six improper fractions as mixed numbers, and Section B reverses the process with six mixed numbers converted back to improper fractions. This is core Grade 3 and Grade 4 fraction work, and the fractions greater than one whole worksheet covers both directions of the skill so students are not just memorizing one procedure.
Section C adds two word problems with open work boxes, one involving pizza slices and one involving ribbon measurements, so your homeschooler practices translating between story context and fraction notation. The layout moves from guided concept to structured drill to applied reasoning, which makes it easy to use as an independent seat-work assignment after you introduce the vocabulary. Students practice identifying numerators and denominators, performing division to find whole-number parts, and working backwards from mixed numbers to single fractions.
Improper fractions and mixed numbers meet on this fractions greater than one whole worksheet for grades 3-4. Twelve conversion problems plus word problems included.

Usage Notes
A pencil with a good eraser is the right tool here since students will be doing mental division and may need to revise their work. The three sections move from easier to harder, so it suits independent practice once your student has seen at least one example of each conversion direction. The word problem boxes have enough white space for showing work without crowding.
Printing Tips
Copy paper handles pencil writing fine for the conversion sections, but 24 lb paper holds up better if students are erasing and reworking the word problem boxes. Portrait orientation is correct as designed, and printing two copies gives your student a second attempt after reviewing errors.
