Equivalent Fractions

This is a complete lesson on introducing equivalent fractions. It is assumed that students are able to shade and recognise fractions.
Depending on the ability of the class, it can take between 1 and 3 hours.

It makes use of pictorial representations, fraction walls (provided) and develops this into using multiplication to find equivalent fractions.

Resources included:
A smart notebook and PPT file 76 slides long
Two versions of a fraction wall (ideally to be laminated, but an alternative version is provided if this is not possible)
3 activities for the fraction walls
1 activity in which students walk up to the board to find equivalent fractions
1 cut out and match up activity

Resources required;
Mini-Whiteboards
Scissors (and glue if you want the students to stick the matching activity down)
Laminator (optional)
Powerpoint or Smart Notebook
