🍰 What are Equivalent Fractions?

Equivalent Fractions are different ways of writing the **same amount**.

They may look different, but they are equal — just like different names for the same friend!

1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8

🎨 See It With Pictures

Imagine a chocolate bar divided into 2 equal parts.
You eat 1 part → 1/2

Now imagine the same chocolate bar divided into 4 equal parts.
You eat 2 parts → 2/4

Both show the same amount!

✨ How to Find Equivalent Fractions

Multiply (or divide) the numerator and denominator by the **same number**.

Example:
Start with 1/3
Multiply top and bottom by 2 → 2/6
Multiply top and bottom by 3 → 3/9
Multiply top and bottom by 4 → 4/12

So 1/3 = 2/6 = 3/9 = 4/12

✏️ Let’s Practice Together, My Dear Student!

Practice 1: Find the Missing Number

1. 1/2 = __/8 → 4/8
2. 2/3 = 4/__ → 6
3. 3/5 = __/10 → 6/10

Practice 2: Are They Equivalent?

1. 2/4 and 3/6 → Yes
2. 1/3 and 3/9 → Yes
3. 2/5 and 4/10 → Yes
4. 1/2 and 3/5 → No

Practice 3: Word Problems (Canadian Style)

1. You ate 2/6 of a pizza. Your friend says you ate 1/3. Are you both correct?
Yes — 2/6 = 1/3 (equivalent fractions)

2. A hockey game is 60 minutes. You practiced for 20 minutes. What fraction of the game is that? Write two equivalent fractions.
20/60 = 1/3 = 2/6

Challenge Question

Write three fractions equivalent to 3/4.
6/8, 9/12, 12/16

Fantastic Job, My Dear Student! 🎉

You now understand Equivalent Fractions very well! This skill helps us compare fractions and add them later.

I am so proud of you for learning fractions step by step. Keep practising by finding different names for the same fraction.

💕 You are smart. You are kind. You can do hard things.
