  1. EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS

  2. Parts of a Fraction Numerator= Top Number Denominator= Bottom Number

  3. What is an Equivalent Fraction? Equivalent Fractions appear differently, but have the same value. The fraction shaded on the left hand side is 1/2 and the fraction shaded on the right hand side is 2/4

  4. Take a look at this chart. What are some equivalent fractions? REMEMBER THAT EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS USE DIFFERENT NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Equivalent Fractions with food! If you got 1/2 of the pizza, your friend got 2/4 of the pizza ,and your other friend got 4/8 of the pizza, would you all be getting the same amount???

  6. How Can You Find Equivalent Fractions? Equivalent Fractions can be found by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

  7. Another Way to Find Equivalent Fractions Notice how the numerator (top number) was multiplied by 6 and it gave us 6, and the denominator (bottom number) was also multiplied by the same number and it gave us 24. So, 1/4 is equivalent to 6/24.

  8. Division The numerator (top number) was divided by 4 and it gave us 1, and the denominator (bottom number) was divided by the same number and it gave us 2. Therefore, 4/8 is equivalent to 1/2.

  9. Your Turn!!!! Johnny ate 5/12 pieces of cake. Jessica wants to eat the same amount as Johnny. Write a fraction that is equivalent to 5/12 to show how much cake Jessica ate. ** Remember, equivalent fractions have different numbers. ** Also, remember that in order to find equivalent fractions, you can multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.
