You should see two circles. One is red and the other is blue. There are also 2 blue sliders. You will use these sliders to make fractions that are equivalent to the red circle.

Click on the 'New Fraction' button to get a new fraction. 

What red fraction is being shown?

Move the blue sliders to make 5 fractions that are equivalent to the red fraction. Write them. 

​Writing Equivalent Fractions

​We write equivalent fractions as follows:

​Write your equivalent fractions in this way.
