Using The Fraction Wall - Equivalent Fractions WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Fraction walls are an excellent tool for learners to gain understanding of fraction size and equivalence. This worksheet asks a series of questions that act as prompts for your students to learn how to navigate a fraction wall to find equivalent fractions and encourages them to consider what equivalent fractions have in common.

Pupils will complete ‘chains’ of equivalent fractions, name fractions equivalent to ½ and ⅓ that do not appear on the wall and identify fractions that have no equivalent fractions on the wall whilst completing this worksheet.

There are more resources in our series using a fraction wall, including introducing the fraction wall, comparing fractions and adding fractions. See them in the related resources below.
