Equivalent fractions without visual models

The following worksheets are similar to the ones above, but using larger numbers in the denominators and numerators.

With this worksheet generator, you can make worksheets for equivalent fractions. The worksheet can include problems with visual models (pie images) or not. There are five problem types to choose from:

• Two fractions are given with 2 empty pie images to color in (e.g. 3/5 = 6/10).
• There are 2 pie images that are already colored; the student writes both fractions.
• Two pie images are given, one colored in, one not; the student writes both fractions.
• There are 2 pie images to color, one fraction is given, one not (e.g. 4/5 =     /     )
• Problems without any visual model; the student writes the missing numerator or denominator in one of the fractions (e.g. 2/3 =     /12).

You can choose to include or not include mixed numbers and improper fractions. You can control the minimum and maximum values for the numerator and the denominator. However, for the problems with visual models, the maximum denominator is limited to 16.

Equivalent fraction worksheets for 3rd Grade: Printable and free

Hi there! Welcome to this amazing article, where we share tips and resources to help you and your kids learn math in a fun and easy way. Today, we’ll discuss one of the most essential topics in third-grade math: equivalent fractions. So, if you're looking for printable and free equivalent fraction worksheets for 3rd Grade , you've come to the right place!

But before we get to the worksheets, let's review what equivalent fractions are and why they are important.

What are equivalent fractions, and why are they important?

Equivalent fractions have the same value, even though they may look different. For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions because they represent half of a whole. To find equivalent fractions, multiply or divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number (except zero). For example, to find an equivalent fraction for 3/5, multiply 3 and 5 by 2 to get 6/10.

Equivalent fractions are important because they help us compare and simplify fractions . When we compare fractions, we need to find a common denominator (the bottom number) to see which fraction is larger or smaller. For example, to compare 2/3 and 3/4, we can find equivalent fractions with a common denominator of 12: 8/12 and 9/12. Then we can see that 3/4 is larger than 2/3 because 9/12 is larger than 8/12.

When simplifying fractions, we find an equivalent fraction with the smallest possible numerator and denominator. This is called the lowest term or simplest form of a fraction . For example, to simplify 6/9, we can divide 6 and 9 by 3 to get 2/3. This is the lowest term of 6/9 because no other number can divide 2 and 3 evenly.

How to use visual models to compare and simplify equivalent fractions.

One of the best ways to help your kids understand equivalent fractions is to use visual models such as fraction strips, fraction circles, area models, or number lines . One trusted website where you can find these visual models for solving equivalent fractions problems is Mathskills4kids.com . However, let’s find out how to use these visual models to compare and simplify equivalent fractions .

These visual models help your kids see how different fractions can represent the same part of a whole. Also, they help your kids see how to compare and simplify fractions by finding common denominators or dividing by common factors.

For example,

Using fraction strips , you can show your kids how 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent by placing them on top of each other. You can also show them how to compare 2/3 and 3/4 by finding equivalent fractions with a common denominator of 12: 8/12 and 9/12. You can then place these fraction strips side-by-side and see which is longer or shorter.

Using fraction circles , you can show your kids how to simplify fractions by finding the largest common factor that can divide the numerator and the denominator . For example, to simplify 6/9, you can show them how to divide the numerator and the denominator by 3 using fraction circles. You can then show them the simplified fraction (2/3) on a fraction circle.

Using area models , you can show your kids how to find equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing the numerator and the denominator by the same number . For example, to find an equivalent fraction for 3/5, you can show them how to multiply 3 and 5 by 2 using an area model. You can then show them the equivalent fraction (6/10) on an area model.

Using number lines , you can show your kids how to identify equivalent fractions by locating them on the same point on a number line . For example, to identify equivalent fractions for 1/2, you can show them how to locate different fractions that have the same value as 1/2 on a number line. You can then show them how these fractions (2/4, 3/6, or 4/8) are equivalent to 1/2.

Fun and engaging activities to practice equivalent fractions with your kids

Besides visual models, you can also use fun and engaging activities to practice equivalent fractions with your kids . Here are some ideas:

• Play a matching game with cards that have different fractions on them . The goal is to find pairs of cards that have equivalent fractions. You can make cards or use free printable cards from Math Geek Mama.
• Make a fraction wall with paper strips with different fractions . The goal is to arrange the strips on a wall or a board to show how fractions are equivalent. You can make or use these free printable strips from Math Salamanders.
• Play a bingo game with boards that have different fractions on them . The goal is to mark off fractions equivalent to the ones called out by the bingo caller. You can make your boards or use these free printable boards from Teachers Pay Teachers.
• Make a fraction pizza with paper plates and toppings with different fractions . The goal is to cut the pizza into slices that have equivalent fractions. You can make your plates and toppings or use these free printable plates and toppings from Dixie Paper Plate Pizzas!
• Play a dominoes game with tiles that have different fractions on them . The goal is to match the tiles by finding equivalent fractions. You can make your tiles or use these free printable tiles from Math Salamanders.

Tips and tricks to help your child master equivalent fractions

Equivalent fractions can be tricky to learn, but with some practice and patience, your child can master this important math skill. Here are some tips and tricks to help your child along the way of mastering equivalent fractions :

• Review the basics of fractions . Ensure your child understands a fraction, how to read and write fractions, and how to compare fractions with the same denominator . You can use visual models, such as fraction bars, circles, or squares, to show your child how fractions represent parts of a whole.

You can use visual models to show your child how equivalent fractions have the same size and shape, even though they have different numbers.

For example, to find an equivalent fraction for 2/3, multiply 2 and 3 by 2 to get 4/6. You can also divide both 2 and 3 by 2 to get 1/1.5. You can use visual models to show your child how multiplying or dividing by the same number does not change the size or shape of the fraction, only the numbers.

For example, you can use area models, number lines, cross-multiplication, or simplifying fractions. Using different strategies, you can mix the methods and challenge your child to find equivalent fractions.

• Check your child's understanding of equivalent fractions . You can use quizzes, tests, or word problems to assess your child's understanding of equivalent fractions. You can also ask your child to explain how they found an equivalent fraction or why two fractions are equivalent. You can also ask your child to find errors or mistakes in finding equivalent fractions and correct them.

Applying equivalent fractions in real-life situations

Equivalent fractions are not only useful in math class but also in real-life situations. Here are some examples of how you can apply equivalent fractions in everyday life :

For example, if you need 1/4 cup of sugar but only have a 1/3 cup measure, you can use an equivalent fraction of 3/4 of the 1/3 cup measure to get 1/4 cup of sugar.

For example, if you want to buy a pack of 12 pencils that costs $3.60, but there is a sale for 25% off, you can use an equivalent fraction of 3/4 to find the discounted price. You can multiply $3.60 by 3/4 to get $2.70 as the final price.

For example, if you have an appointment at 10:30 am but need to leave your house at least half an hour before, you can use an equivalent fraction of 1/2 to find what time you need to leave. You can subtract 1/2 hour from 10:30 am to get 10:00 am as the time you need to leave.
