What are equivalent fractions?
How to get equivalent fractions
How to simplify and order fractions
Enjoy!

3. What are equivalent
fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions that all have
the same value, for example:
2/3=4/6=8/12
Equivalence means equal, so all the equivalent
fractions have to be equal.
Let me explain it a bit more......

10. What are Equivalent
Fractions? 2
If I have a pie cut in to half, then the
outlined section is 1/2.

11. What are Equivalent
Fractions? 2
If I have a pie cut in to half, then the
outlined section is 1/2.
If I cut it into 4, the outlined section
would be 2/4, which is still half if you simplify
it.

12. What are Equivalent
Fractions? 2
If I have a pie cut in to half, then the
outlined section is 1/2.
If I cut it into 4, the outlined section
would be 2/4, which is still half if you simplify
it.
2/4 is the equivalent fraction of 1/2!

13. How to Get Equivalent
Fractions
If 3/4 is our main fraction we are going to use,
then just multiply the numerator and the
denominator by the same number. Then you will
get the equivalent fraction! Lets try:
3x2/4x2 so an equivalent fraction of 3/4 is
6/8! You can keep on doing that to keep on
getting equivalent fractions.

14. How to simplify fractions
Here’s how to simplify fractions:
If the fraction you want to simplify is 5/10, then
you have to find the common factor of 5 and
10.
The common factor is 5, so divide each one by
5
You’re simplified fraction is 1/2!

15. How to Order Fractions
Your fractions are 3/7, 1/2, 4/5
You need to put them in order from lowest to
highest. How do you do that?
First, change all the denominators to the LCM of 7,
2 and 5
So your denominator is 70!
Now, the fractions are 30/70, 35/70 and 56/70
We’ll carry on on the next page......

16. How to Order Fractions 2
So, just put them in order: 30/70, 35/70 and
56/70
Simplify them.
You have just learnt how to order fractions!
