Equivalent Fractions: Same Amount, Different Parts
Made for Maya, who loves her dog and cat
Twelve problems on fractions that name the same amount of a whole. Maya picks equivalent pairs, fills in missing numerators, compares fractions with the right sign, and finishes with two word problems about a pan of dog treats and a shelf of cat toys.
Skills on this worksheet
- Recognize pairs of equivalent fractions such as 1/2 and 2/4
- Find the missing numerator to make two fractions equivalent
- Write a fraction in simplest form
- Compare fractions with the greater than, less than, and equals signs
- Catch the common mistake that a bigger denominator means a bigger fraction
Question types: Multiple choice, yes or no, fill in the blank, comparisons, and two word problems.
Three of the questions
- Which fraction is equivalent to 3/4?
- Fill in the blank: 2/3 = __/6
- A whole pan of dog treats is cut into 4 equal rows. Maya gives away 2/4 of the pan. Write an equivalent fraction with denominator 8.
The answer key gives the answer to every question and, for the worked example at the top, the reasoning behind it.
How it was personalized
Maya loves her dog and cat, so the two word problems are about a pan of dog treats cut into rows and a shelf half filled with cat toys. The fraction skills are the same ones any third or fourth grader works on. The setting is hers.
