WALT: We are learning to identify and create equivalent fractions using number lines and pie-chart thinking.

Success criteria:

1. I can give at least three equivalent fractions for a given fraction.

2. I can explain how multiplying or dividing numerator and denominator by the same number creates equivalent fractions.

3. I can convert a mixed number to an improper fraction and find equivalents.

Differentiation:

- Support: Use fraction circles or fraction bars to show equivalence physically.

- Core: Use number lines and symbolic methods to find and check equivalents.

- Extend: Work with mixed numbers and larger multipliers to create more equivalents.

Extension (Advanced learners): Try finding three equivalent fractions for 1 1/3 and explain how you checked each one.

1. If you multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 3, which fraction do you get?

2. Which fraction is equivalent to 2/3?

3. Check all that apply: Which of these are equivalent to 3/5?

4. Which shows 1 1/2 as an improper fraction?

5. Write three fractions equivalent to 2/5. Show a short note on how you found them.

6. Simplify 8/12. Show your steps.

7. Match each fraction on the left with an equivalent fraction on the right. Draw a line between matching items.

8. Challenge: Convert 1 3/4 to an improper fraction. Then find two equivalent fractions by multiplying numerator and denominator by 2 and by 3.

9. Reflection: How can you check that two fractions are equivalent? Write one short sentence.
