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

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

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

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

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

Whoops try again!

Well done! That's right

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

Whoops try again!

Well done! That's right

1 whole 1/3 1/6 1/12 1/3 2/6 4/12 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

Whoops try again!

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

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