Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers

Here are the TEKS!
4.3B decompose a fraction in more than one way into a sum of fractions with the same denominator using concrete and pictorial models and recording results with symbolic representations; S

4.3A represent a fraction a/b as a sum of fractions 1/b, where a and b are whole numbers and b > 0, including when a > b; S

4.3E represent and solve addition and subtraction of fractions
with equal denominators using objects and pictorial models that build to the number line and properties of operations; R

Today we are working on the above TEKS.
We're working on how to go from a mixed number (a fraction and a whole) to an improper fraction (a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator).

For example
One whole and five out of six
1 and 5/6
can be made into
11/6
because I know 1 = 6/6
6/6 + 5/6 = 11/6
