Equivalent Fractions Worksheet

Welcome to our Equivalent Fractions Worksheets page.

On this page we have a wide range of support sheets and practice sheets to help you to fully understand the concept of equivalent fractions.

Our worksheets are carefully graded so you can pitch the work at just the right level.

For full functionality of this site it is necessary to enable JavaScript.

Here are the instructions how to enable JavaScript in your web browser .

Here you will find a selection of Fraction worksheets designed to help your child practice their equivalent fractions.

The sheets are carefully graded so that the easiest sheets come first, and the most difficult sheet is the last one.

We have split the sheets into two sections with the first section looking at visual fractions of circles.

The sheets in the second sections start off visual and become more abstract and tricky!

Exploring Fractions

• The first group  gives you some starting points to explore with your class, which are applicable to a wide range of ages.  The tasks in this first group will build on children's current understanding of fractions and will help them get to grips with the concept of the part-whole relationship. 
• The second group of tasks  focuses on the progression of ideas associated with fractions, through a problem-solving lens.  So, the tasks in this second group are curriculum-linked but crucially also offer opportunities for learners to develop their problem-solving and reasoning skills.   

• are applicable to a range of ages;
• provide contexts in which to explore the part-whole relationship in depth;
• offer opportunities to develop conceptual understanding through talk.

Finding equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions

Spine 3: Fractions – Topic 3.7

Introduction

Discover how equivalent fractions have the same proportional relationship between the numerator and denominator, and therefore have the same numerical value. Convert between equivalent fractions and simplify fractions.

Teaching points

• Teaching point 1 : When two fractions have different numerators and denominators to one another but share the same numerical value, they are called ‘equivalent fractions’.  
• Teaching point 2 : Equivalent fractions share the same proportional (multiplicative) relationship between the numerator and denominator. Equivalent fractions can be generated by maintaining that relationship through the process of multiplication and division.  
• Teaching point 3 : Fractions can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by a common factor.
