Equivalent fractions We are learning about equivalent fractions 1 whole 1/ 1/ 1/ 8 1/ 2 1/ 4 1/ 8 2 1/ 4 1/ 8

1 whole ½ ½ ¼ 1/ 8 ¼ 1/ 1/ 8 8 ¼ 1/ 8 We can see that 1/ 2/ = 4/ = 8/ = 1 2 4 8 They are equivalent fractions 1/ 8

1 whole 1/ 1/ 1/ 8 1/ 2 1/ 4 1/ 8 1/ 2 1/ 4 8 1/ 8 4 1/ 8 We can see that 2/8 is the same length as 1/4 So 2/8 = 1/4 They are equivalent fractions

Which fractions are equivalent to 1 whole ½ ¼ 1/ 8 1/ 2/ = 4/ = 2 4 8 8 ½?

1 whole 1/ 1/ 4 1/ 8 1/ 2 8 1/ 4 1/ 1/ 8 8 2 1/ 4 1/ 8 8 Which of these fractions is equivalent to 1/4 ? 1/ 8 1/ 2 2/ 8

1 whole 1/ 1/ 2 1/ 4 1/ 8 8 1/ 4 1/ 1/ 8 8 2 1/ 4 1/ 8 8 Which of these fractions is equivalent to 4/8 ? 1/ 8 2/ 4 1/ 4

1 whole 1/ 1/ 1/ 6 1/ 12 3 1/ 3 12 = 1/ 12 2/ 1/ 6 6 1/ 12 = 1/ 12 4/ 1/ 3 1/ 6 1/ 12 3 1/ 6 1/ 1/ 12 12 12 Look at the equivalent fractions – each time the numerators double, the denominators also double. Which other fraction will be equivalent? 8/ 24 6/ 24 4/ 24 6 1/ 12

Think of a pizza cut into six pieces How many sixths are equivalent to ½?

Now we’ve learned what equivalent fractions are – let’s find some ourselves. Good Luck!
