Bar models, fraction walls and number lines will still be useful to help children to see the relative sizes of the fractions, especially when conversions are needed. Children should look at the set of fractions as a whole before deciding their approach, as comparing numerators could still be a better strategy for some sets of fractions. Core worksheet with answer sheet.

In this worksheet, children develop their understanding of equivalent fractions within 1, mainly through exploring bar models. Children begin by finding equivalent fractions by splitting up models into smaller parts in a range of different ways. The key learning point is that as long as each of the existing parts are split equally into the same number of smaller parts, then the fractions will be equivalent. A common misconception is that children believe they can only split up existing parts into two equal sections, which limits the number of equivalent fractions that they will find. Children begin to use fraction walls to help create equivalent fraction families. Includes: Core worksheet - with answer sheet
