Using a Fraction Wall - Equivalent Fractions WORKSHEET
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.
Using a 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.
