Finding Equivalent Fractions Step-by-Step

Are your 3rd grade and 4th grade children aware of the steps in finding an equivalent fraction? Let them know that both multiplication and division are the bread and butter of equivalent fractions.

Missing Parts of Fractions | Standard

Missing here is either the numerator or denominator of a fraction, equivalent to another. Find out the factor that makes it equivalent to the given fraction, and fill in the missing part.

Missing Parts of Fractions | Variables

A variable is given in place of the missing parts of an equivalent-fraction sentence. There's a shortcut to solving these problems. All you need to do is cross-multiply the fractions and find the missing value.

Missing Parts of Multiple Equivalent Fractions

Pound it into 4th grade and 5th grade students' heads that a fraction can have an infinite number of equivalent fractions, and task them with finding the missing parts of more than five equivalents for a fraction.

Identifying and Generating Equivalent Fractions

Scoop up our printable equivalent fractions worksheets, ideal for grade 3 and grade 4, with practice exercises on identifying equivalent fractions in part A and generating three equivalents for a fraction in part B.

Get children excitedly enthusing over this set of riddles! Pore over the sentences, frame the equivalent-fraction statement, and figure out the fraction that replaces "I" in each and every riddle.

Circling the Equivalent Fractions

Buff up your practice with our pdf equivalent fractions worksheets, which require grade 4 and grade 5 children to circle three to four fractions out of a set of five that are equivalent to a given fraction.

Equivalent Fractions Patterns

As fun and frolic as they are, patterns are not fully devoid of challenge! Seize this compilation of printable worksheets, analyze the patterns the fractions follow, and fill in the blanks with the appropriate fraction.

Equivalent Fractions on a Number Line

Did you know that equivalent fractions represent the same point on a number line? Work out our printable worksheets and learn such intriguing facts by plotting equivalent fractions on number lines.

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.
