Objective: Decompose and compose fractions greater than 1 to express them in various forms.
In Lessons 24 and 25, students use decompositions to reason about the various equivalent forms in which a fraction greater than or equal to 1 may be presented, both as fractions and as mixed numbers. In Lesson 24, they decompose, for example, 11 fourths into 8 fourths and 3 fourths, 11/4 = 8/4 + 3/4 , or they can think of it as 11/4 = 4/4 + 4/4 + 3/4 = 2 × 4/4 + 3/4 = 2 3/4.
