It must have been a personal preference of the writers because they believe there isn't anything "improper" about them so they choose to call them just fractions.

You can find PARCC and SmarterBalance samples online. I just read an article that said that the SAT is also being changed to reflect current practices. Since this is the first year of implementation of testing, it will be interesting to see if it's succeeds in the intent... Didn't know that improper fraction isn't used anymore. Will have to check into that! ;) <br /><br />Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419042339830317651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429983491199569680.post-59082400531785612772014-09-25T09:44:19.769-07:002014-09-25T09:44:19.769-07:00I love this post and the childhood photo! There...I love this post and the childhood photo! There's been wonderful changes in teaching of math which is a relief. But curious to know how children are tested in mathematics these days. Do they require them to how work (written explanation or visuals)? Also, I just read recently that they don't use the term "improper" fraction anymore.

Glad to know that math has become more conceptual and visual. I would have liked that.ShirleyHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16395781622594618982noreply@blogger.com
