Kara @singmath.bsky.social · 20/05/2025As a high school then college math instructor, I hate the phrase improper fraction because it is the preferred answer every time, but the word improper gives it a negative connotation. The only time a mixed number is helpful is as a final answer to a word problem, and decimals are much more common. 130
