1. Name Learning Objective We will generate1 equivalent fractions. CFU What are we going to do? What does generate mean? Generate means __________. Activate Prior Knowledge Fractions are numbers that represent a part of a whole. Determine the fraction of the entire rectangle that is shaded. Make Connection Students, you already know fractions with different numerators and denominators can sometimes be equivalent. Now, we will generate equivalent fractions. What statement best compares the three shaded parts? A. One shaded part is larger than the others. B. They appear to be the same size. 1 make Vocabulary

2. Concept Development Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value. • To generate an equivalent fraction the numerator and denominator must be multiplied or divided by the same number. Equivalent Fractions “They are equal.” = = 1 2 2 4 6 12 3 6 3 2 4 2 4 2 4 2 4 1 2 22 42 2×3 4×3 6 12 6 12 1 2 4 8 8 Generating Equivalent Fractions = = = because = = = because CFU Which two fractions below are equivalent fractions? How do you know? A B C In your own words, what is an equivalent fraction? “An equivalent fraction is __________.”

3. Concept Development (Clarification and CFU) • When generating equivalent fractions: • Divide if the second denominator is smaller. • Multiply if the second denominator is larger. 1 3 3 10 5 6 2 3 4 6 9 ? 16 ? 3 = = = = 6 CFU What must the numerator be divided by to generate an equivalent fraction below? How do you know? What must the numerator be multiplied by to generate an equivalent fraction below? How do you know?

4. Skill Development/Guided Practice Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value. Generate equivalent fractions. Determine2 which denominator is larger. Determine the value to multiply or divide the first denominator by. Multiply or divide the numerator by the same number. Read the equivalent fractions aloud. “___ is equivalent to ___.” 1 2 3 4 How did I/you determine which denominator is larger? How did I/you determine the value to multiply or divide the first denominator by? How did I/you find the equivalent fraction? CFU 2 figure out Vocabulary 1 2 3

5. Skill Development/Guided Practice (continued) Alicia found the equivalent fractions below. Correct any mistakes she made. How did I/you determine what the question is asking? How did I/you determine the math concept required? How did I/you determine the relevant information? How did I/you solve and interpret the problem? How did I/you check the reasonableness of the answer? CFU 1 2 3 4 5

6. Relevance Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value. Generating equivalent fractions will help you solve problems with fractions. 1 Troy is adding the fractions below. He has to reduce the fraction to get the complete answer. 2 Generating equivalent fractions will help you do well on tests. Sample Test Question: 32. Which of the following fractions is equal to ? Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Does anyone else have another reason why it is relevant to generate equivalent fractions? (Pair-Share) Why is it relevant to generate equivalent fractions? You may give one of my reasons or one of your own. Which reason is more relevant to you? Why? CFU
