In this interactive activity students are to visualize the concept of equivalent fractions. The student has to illustrate two fractions which have the same value as a third given fraction.

This lesson is for grade 3 on math. At Home Learning Lessons are a partnership between the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, PBS North Carolina, and the William and Ida Friday Institute for Educational Innovation. Each lesson contains a video instructional lesson, a PDF lesson plan with a transcript, and a PDF file of extension activities.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with an opportunity to explain fraction equivalence through visual models in a particular example.

Sample Learning Goals
Find matching fractions using numbers and pictures
Make the same fractions using different numbers
Match fractions in different picture patterns
Compare fractions using numbers and patterns

Sample Learning Goals
Make equivalent fractions using different numbers
Match fractions in different picture patterns
Compare fractions on a number line

Students are given a problem to solve involving pizza and fractional portions. Students use the information in the problem to determine if the boys in the problem ate the same amount of pizza, explain their answer, and justify their conclusions using a visual fraction model.

In this lesson, students will compare two fractions with the same numerator or same denominator by reasoning about their size. They should recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. They will record their results and use comparing symbols to justify their conclusions using a model.

Students build hexagons which represent 1 whole by joining fractions and their equivalence. 

The purpose of this task is to present students with a context where they need to explain why two simple fractions are equivalent.

This is a challenging fraction comparison problem. The fractions for this task have been carefully chosen to encourage and reward different methods of comparison.

In this lesson students are asked to find ways to share different-sized items equally between 2 people. They are asked to find equivalent fractions on a number line and to order those fractions by size. This CYBERCHASE activity is motivated by a video clip in which the CyberSquad has to find a way for Pan and Pin to share their different-sized bars of gold equally.

For this activity, students work with a partner to discover the number of ways they can make one whole using fraction pieces of the same shape and size.
