Introducing the Fraction Wall WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 4th Grade
CCSS: 4.NF.A.1, 4.NF.A.2
CCSS Description: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Introducing the Fraction Wall WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Fraction walls serve as an effective visual aid, enhancing students' comprehension of how various fractions relate to each other and can even be used in the addition and subtraction of fractions.
This worksheet is designed to familiarise students with fraction walls. It includes 15 varied prompts and questions to guide them in exploring and understanding how to use a fraction wall.
Whilst completing, pupils’ will find different fractions, compare, simplify, find equivalent fractions and more.
There are more resources in our series using a fraction wall, including Comparing Fractions, Equivalent Fractions and Adding Fractions. See them in the related resources below.
