Equivalent Fractions Teacher Resources

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

The world of fractions is the focus of this math PowerPoint. Young mathematicians are introduced to terms such as: numerator, denominator, equivalent, and fraction bar. Two test preparation slides are included, as well as a slide that...

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

Here is a good fractions lesson which invites learners to fold paper strips to represent an equivalent fraction to the fraction model using chips or tiles displayed on the overhead. They arrange chips to represent a given fraction.

Trying to get your class to think of decimals as fractions and vice versa can lead to interesting discussions. After all, we can usually understand quickly that 1/4 is .25 but why is 1/7 not so easy to convert? This activity looks...

Ddefine the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages in a series of lessons. The class practices converting between these three versions of a number. They also find the common factor of a numerator and denominator and...

Which one is greater? Once young mathematicians understand the basics of fractions they can begin comparing them. In these practice problems they begin by examining 12 pairs of fractions and choosing the one that is greater. Next,...

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

Geometric shapes make great visual models for introducing young mathematicians to the concept of fractions. Looking at a series of four circles, students are asked to determine whether or not one half of each circle is shaded. To support...

Two Cyberchase videos inspire elementary mathematicians to understand fractions. Worksheets are provided to walk viewers through the concepts taught in the videos. You can't go wrong when using educational cartoons such as these! They...

Students participate in a game of Fraction Bingo. For this fraction lesson, students review equivalent fractions and use these skills to play Fraction Bingo.

Sixth graders review equivalent fractions by using folded paper and shading in different amounts. In this fractions lesson plan, 6th graders review fractions with the paper, and then go onto internet sites to practice concepts on...

Students work with the concept of equivalent fractions. In this equivalent fraction worksheet, students double a recipe, triple a recipe, and reduce a recipe for Tiger BITES by one-half and one-quarter. They apply multiplication and...

In this fraction worksheet, students draw lines to the pictures of fractions that show the same amount and name each fraction in 9 examples. They follow directions to split fraction pieces in 9 given pictures and write down the...

Fifth graders discuss the relationship between equivalent fractions, ratios, and proportions. In this fraction lesson, 5th graders answer questions about a punch mixture in order to find the ratio of ingredients.

For this math worksheet, 6th graders find the solutions to the number sentences that use fractions and decimals. They use the rules of decimals and fractions.

Students describe importance of fractions in everyday life by identifying equivalent fractions and manipulating pizza pieces to show examples of equivalent fractions, and demonstrate knowledge of how whole can be divided into equal-sized...

Students describe parts of a fraction and make equivalent fractions. They review parts of a fraction using a pizza, make equivalent fractions, and play the review game Fraction Fairway.

In this equivalent fractions worksheet, learners simplify fractions to their lowest terms. They identify equivalent fractions. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

In this fractions worksheet, students solve 6 problem solving questions. Students identify fraction pictures that are equivalent or are shown in lowest terms. Students reduce fractions to lowest terms and make equivalent fractions.

Learners relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.

Fourth graders explore fractions. They compare different fractions using fraction bars. Students find equivalent fractions and they use fraction bars to visualize addition of fractions.

In this math worksheet, students use the fraction strips to label the parts of one whole and discover equivalent fractions. The first fraction is labeled in each strip to clue students on how to write the remaining fractions.

Who doesn't love cookies? In this lesson, learners follow a recipe to make cookies, practicing their ability to compare fractions as they go. This is a wonderful way to motivate your class to practice this important skill.
