Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Model Equivalent Fractions. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Locate equivalent fractions on a number line.

Equal fractions are called equivalent fractions.

Fractions of the same size but different numerators or denominators are equivalent fractions.

Explain why equivalent fractions must describe the same size whole.

Fractions with different denominators can be equivalent if the same ratio exists between the two fractions, i.e. ½ = 2/4 because they both represent half of one whole.

Understand that a denominator with a higher numerical value does not mean it has a higher value but means it is partitioned into more parts, i.e. ½ is broken into 2 parts, where ¼ is broken into 4 parts.

Compare fractions with like denominators and unlike numerators.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is meant by equivalent fractions? How can you tell if two fractions are equivalent? What are the two parts of a fraction called?

After the Game

How did this game help you to visualize equivalent fractions? What does it mean if one cylinder has a denominator of 2 and the other cylinder has a denominator of 6? What does the denominator of a fraction tell you? How did you use your knowledge of equivalent fractions to choose the missing number in the last activity? Can you provide two equivalent fractions for 2/4? Can you describe the strategy you would use to calculate an equivalent fraction for 1/3?
