Equivalent Fractions- 3rd Grade

Equivalent Fractions

(This is an introduction to the math topic we will be starting next week)

To determine if two fractions are equivalent, I check to make sure each whole is the same size, then I look at the part that is being compared. 

If the shaded part takes up the same space, the fractions are equivalent. ​

I can do the same thing with fractions on a number line.

​If we set our number lines on top of each other we can look to see if each fraction takes up the same length on the number line.
