Equivalent Fraction Models Worksheets

In these free math worksheets, you will learn how to model equivalent fractions.

• Recognize and show that equivalent fractions have the same size, though not necessarily the same shape.
• Generate simple equivalent fractions by using visual fraction models.
• Express whole numbers as fractions and recognize equivalence with different units.
• Decompose whole number fractions greater than 1 using whole number equivalence with various models.
• Explain equivalence by manipulating units and reasoning about their size.

How to model equivalent fractions?
Modeling equivalent fractions involves visually representing fractions in a way that helps students see that different-looking fractions can represent the same quantity.

1. Use fraction bars or strips to model equivalent fractions. For example, if you have a fraction strip representing 1/2, show that 2/4 is equivalent by placing two 1/4 strips side by side.
2. Use area models to represent fractions. Draw rectangles or squares and shade the appropriate fraction to model 1/2, and 3/6 equivalences.
3. Draw a number line and represent fractions on it. Mark 1/2 and 2/4 at the same point on the number line, emphasizing that they represent the same position or value.
