great exercise. could you also add a graphie component, maybe with rectchart or piechart?
i was looking at http://www.khanacademy.org/video/converting-mixed-numbers-to-improper-fractions?playlist=Developmental%20Math and http://www.khanacademy.org/video/changing-an-improper-fraction-to-a-mixed-number?playlist=Developmental%20Math for inspiration.

another thing is that the colors are slightly off, as you'll find in khan-exercise.css the real values of hint_green, hint_blue etc. for now until colorpicker is in place, can you just use those hex values instead of "green" in your TeX?

looks like the second graphie's bounds are too small maybe? converting_mixed_numbers_and_improper_fractions.html?debug&problem=mixed-to-improper&seed=188654182

for converting from an improper fraction ( say, 83/27) to a mixed number, could you also add something under 83/27 = 3 R 2. something like (but not necessarily exactly) the improper fraction has 3 wholes in it, or 3 * 27/27 = 81/27. and somewhere also point out how 81/27 + 2/27 = 83/27? just to be explicit :)
