3. 1 2 3 6 What are equivalent fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions with the same value.
Sometimes it is very difficult to find equivalent fractions because the digits used in the fractions are completely different.
Can you see
how all the digits
are different? 1 2 3
is the same as 6

4. Shapes can be used to show two or more fractions are equivalent.1 3
How can we show;
is equivalent to ? 2 6 1 3 2 6
What do you notice?
Although the digits are different the amount of shaded area is the same for both fractions.

5. Identify the fractions that are equivalent.6 1 3 8 2 4 1 2 1 3 6 2

6. Identify the fractions that are equivalent.4 6 1 1 6 12 3 2 3 4 1 8 5 10 2 20 70 3 7 3
100 5 10 4
