Equivalent means "equal". Equivalent fractions take up the same amount of shaded space; they have the same area. Look at the figures to the right.​

​

​

Notice that the shaded part of both circles covers the same amount. This means the fractions 1/2 and 2/4 are equal.

Let's find out how to do the "bottoms up" method!​

Look at the image to the left.

​Equivalent fractions have different numerators and denominators, but their value is the same

​

​Look at the image above. Use factors to figure out which number you should multiply by to find the equivalent fraction. Start with making the numerators line up, then multiply the denominators by the same number!​

Unit Fractions:

Unit = One

A unit fraction identifies how much one part of the whole equals. The numerator is always one, and the denominator is the total number of parts.

​

"A unit fraction, always has a 1 in the numerator!"​

• $$\frac{2}{12}$$  

• $$\frac{10}{11}$$  

• $$\frac{3}{7}$$  

How do I create equivalent fractions?

• Just remember -

• Whatever you do to the top, you have to do on the bottom.

• Watch this quick video from Khan Academy to help show this idea. https://youtu.be/N1X0vf5PUz4

1/3 = 3/9

• We did 1x3 = 3 to get the numerator.

• We did 3x3 = 9 to get the denominator.

• So, 1/3 = 3/9

• Let's try a few more...
