Find equivalent fractions using fraction strips
Build equivalent fractions! 🧱 Use the fraction wall to visually piece together smaller blocks that perfectly match the size of a bigger block.
Do this: Read the concept below, then try the quiz or activity.
Concept
Fractions can look totally different but actually be exactly the same size! These are called Equivalent Fractions.
For example, if you eat 1/2 of a pizza, that's exactly the same amount of food as eating 2/4 of a pizza, or 4/8 of a pizza. The slices are just cut smaller, but the total amount of pizza doesn't change!
Using a fraction wall makes this super easy to see. If you line up two 1/4 blocks, they perfectly match the length of one 1/2 block.
Try it
Let's build some fractions!
Instructions: Use the toolbox to drag fraction pieces onto your shelf to match the target fraction length exactly!
Problem 1: Try to match the target fraction of 1/2 using the 1/6 blocks. How many do you need? * Answer: ___
