Building the idea of equivalence
Two fractions are equivalent when they name the same amount, even though they use different numbers. The reliable strategy at this grade is to multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number — which is the same as multiplying the fraction by a clever form of 1, such as 2/2.
How to use it
Start with a visual: fold a paper strip in half, then in fourths, and show that 1/2 covers the same length as 2/4. Once students believe the fractions are equal, the worksheet gives them the procedure to generate equivalents on their own. Watch for the classic error of changing only the top or only the bottom — that changes the value of the fraction.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Use a fraction bar or number line first so students see why 1/2 and 2/4 are the same size.
🏠 Parent note
Whatever you multiply the top by, multiply the bottom by the same number.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Multiplying only the numerator or only the denominator
- Adding instead of multiplying the parts
