Equivalent Fractions Introduction
Help plan portions for a busy food stall. Equivalent fractions name the same amount, even when the numbers look different. Show your thinking where you can.
Spot the same amount
Use the fraction bars to compare portions.
1.A tray is split into 2 equal parts and 1 part is filled. Which fraction below names the same amount as 1/2?
- 2/3
- 3/6
- 1/4
- 2/5
2.The two bars show the same filled amount. Complete the statement: 1/2 = /4.
3.A recipe uses 2/3 cup of oats. Which fraction is equivalent to 2/3?
- 3/6
- 4/6
- 2/6
- 5/6
4.Zoe says 3/6 is equivalent to 1/2 because both cover half the same-sized tray. Is Zoe correct? Explain using the numerator and denominator.
Build equivalent fractions
When you multiply the top and bottom by the same number, the fraction's value stays the same.
5.A baker doubles both parts of 1/3 to make a larger-number fraction with the same value. Fill in: 1/3 = 2/ .
6.A fruit platter has 3/4 of its spaces filled. Multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to make an equivalent fraction. Write the new fraction.
7.Match each fraction to an equivalent fraction: 1/4, 2/3, 3/5. Choices: 2/8, 6/9, 6/10.
- 1/4
- 2/3
- 3/5
- 6/9
- 6/10
- 2/8
8.A stall sign says 4/8 of the muffins are blueberry. Is this the same amount as 1/2? Circle True or False, then give one reason.
TrueFalse
9.A lemonade jug is 2/5 full. Write an equivalent fraction with denominator 10. Show what you multiply the numerator and denominator by.
10.A tray has 8 equal sections. Shade sections to show 3/4 of the tray, then write an equivalent fraction with denominator 8.
11.At the food stall, one plate has 2/4 of a pie left and another has 3/6 left. Are the amounts equal? Explain how you know.
