Equivalent Fractions Greater Than One
Find 5/4 = 10/8 and 3 = 12/4.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 56
- Fractions can be more than one whole. 5 fourths is one whole and one more fourth.
- Cut every fourth in half: each whole now has 8 eighths, and 10 are shaded. 5 fourths equals 10 eighths.
- On a number line, 5 fourths and 10 eighths are at the same point.
- Whole numbers work too. Each whole is 4 fourths, so 3 wholes are 12 fourths.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 4.NR.4.1 — Using concrete materials, drawings, and number lines, demonstrate and explain the relationship between equivalent fractions, including fractions greater than one, and explain the identity property of multiplication as it relates to equivalent fractions. Generate equivalent fractions using these relationships.
