RelayCoach and Mathlete Roles
Coach• Reads the
instructions and/or questions to partner
• Uses words to help your mathlete
• Don’t over-coach! Help only when needed.
• Be your mathlete’s precision police!
Mathlete• Is the keeper and
user of the equipment (pencil paper)
• Does all the writing
• Takes the card up to the scorer.
• Gives feedback to their coach on how they did
Relay• Working with a partner, determine who is
the Coach and who is the Mathlete for the first card. The Mathlete should have the writing utensil.
• Following your roles, complete the first card. When finished bring up the card to the scorer. • If you are correct (and followed Precision
Police guidelines), you will receive the next relay card. Hand off the card to your partner and switch roles.
• If you are incorrect, the scorer will give you a hint on what you did incorrectly. Return to your coach and continue to work. Bring up the card when ready.
Rewriting Improper Fractions as Mixed Numbers
1. Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number in the mixed number.
2. Write the remainder as the numerator over the original denominator. This is the fraction in the mixed number.
