Start with your 1/3 shaded in. Draw one or more
lines across or up and down to create equal sec-
tions. This example has two lines going all the way
from top to bottom. It is broken up into 9 total sec-
tions and 3 of them are shaded. The same amount
is shaded, the pieces are just smaller and there are
more of them.
Start with your 1/3 shaded in. Draw one or more
lines across or up and down to create equal sec-
tions. This example has one line going all the way
from the top to the bottom. It also has one line go-
ing across each of the 1/3 sections. It is broken into
12 total sections and 4 of them are shaded. The
same amount is shaded, the pieces are just smaller
and there are more of them.
1 , 2 , 3 4
3 6 9 and 12 are all equal. They are equivalent fractions.

I can model equivalent fractions
1/3 1/3 1/3
1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6
1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9
You can also use fractions strips to find
equivalent fractions and determine if frac-
tions are equivalent or not. If you follow
the line up and down, 1/3, 2/6, and 3/9
are all the same amount. This means they
are all equivalent fractions.
1/2 1/2
1/3 1/3 1/3
1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4
1/5 1/5 1/5 1/5 1/5
1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6
If you follow the lines, you can see that 1/2
is the same amount as 2/4. These are
equivalent fractions.
1/2 is not the same amount as 1/3 or 2/3,
so they are not equivalent.
1/3 is the same amount as 2/6. These are
equivalent fractions.
1/2 is also the same amount as 3/6. These
are equivalent fractions.
2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, and 6/6 are all the same
amount too. They are equivalent fractions
and all equal to one whole.
What other amounts are the same on the
fractions strips?

Chapter 6 Math Guide
I can create equivalent fractions and determine if fractions are
equivalent or not
Create equivalent fractions: If you multiply or divide the numerator and de-
nominator by the same number, you will create equivalent fractions. You
can choose to divide or multiply, but you must do the same to the numerator
and denominator. And you must multiply or divide by the same number.
1 (x 2)= 2 *The numerator and denominator were both multiplied
2 (x2) = 4 by 2, so 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions.
6 ( 2)= 3 *The numerator and denominator were both divided by
10 ( 2)= 5 2, so 6/10 and 3/5 are equivalent fractions.
Determine if fractions are equivalent: Check to see how the numerator and
denominator were changed between the fractions.
4 (x3)= 12 *The numerator was multiplied by 3 and the
5 (x2)= 10 denominator was multiplied by 2, so they are not
equivalent.
5 (x2)= 10 *The numerator was multiplied by 2 and the
10 ( 2)= 5 denominator was divided by 2, so they are not
equivalent.
Find the missing numerator or denominator: Determine how the numerator
or denominator changed from each fraction. Then do the same to the
missing spot.
2 8 *The numerator went from 2 to 8. This was done by
3 ? multiplying by 4. Do the same to the denominator.
3x4=12, so the missing number is 12. 2/3 = 8/12

Chapter 6 Math Guide
I can find equivalent fractions to solve word problems
*You can draw a picture or make a table to make connections and visualize
what you would do in real life. Be sure to always include labels.
Problem: Lincoln is organizing his toy shelves using bins. 3/4 of the bins will have action figures.
There will be no more than 12 total bins. What are two possible options for organizing his bins?
Start with the 3/4. Remember, the numerator is the part and the denomina-
tor is the whole. For this problem, 3 bins are action figures and there are 4 to-
tal. We want to find equivalent fractions to see what it would look like with
more bins, but still have 3/4 of those bins for action figures. Let’s draw a pic-
ture and find equivalent fractions to find our options.
3/4 6/8 9/12 12/16
Above are all equivalent fractions. We started with the 3/4 shaded in and
broke them into smaller pieces, but they are the same amount. 6/8 is a possi-
ble option. There would be 8 total bins and 6 of them would have action fig-
ures. 9/12 is also an option. There would be 12 bins, and 9 would have ac-
tion figures. 12/16 does not work because the problem says no more than 12
total bins. So, 6/8 and 9/12 are your answers.

*You can draw a picture or make a table to make connections and visualize
what you would do in real life. Be sure to always include labels.
Problem: Micah is making superhero capes for his cousins. Each cape will have 5 superheroes,
and 3 of those superheroes are girls. If he has 7 cousins, what fraction of superheroes will be girls?
Start by drawing one cape and create a table to go along with what you
see. You can use basic shapes to represent the superheroes and the cape.
For example, I used triangles for the girls and circle for the boys. I added 1 for
number of capes, 3 for girl superheroes, and 5 for total superheroes. Then
draw a second cape and add the information to your table. I would do this
for at least 3-4 capes. If you notice a pattern, can you continue to fill in the
table without drawing all 7 capes. However, drawing all 7 capes is also a
great strategy.
As I started drawing my capes, I noticed the number of girls increased by 3
each time and the total increased by 5, so I continue to finish my table with-
out drawing all 7 capes.
Now, the problems asks for a fraction of superheroes that are girls. The table
shows 21 girls out of 35 total superheroes. This as a fraction is 21/35, so….
21/35 are girls
capes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Girls 3 6 9 12 15 18 21
Total
superheroes
5 10 15 20 25 30 35

Chapter 6 Math Guide
I can use benchmarks to compare fractions
Using benchmarks means comparing each fraction to a commonly known
fraction, such as 1/2. Remember 1/2 can be written many different ways as
equivalent fractions. This means you can use those equivalent fractions to
compare and determine if a fraction is less, greater, or equal to 1/2.
** 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 5/10 = 6/12 = 7/14 = 8/16 = 9/18 = 10/20 **
Compare 3/4 and 2/8
Start with the 3/4. Find the 1/2 equivalent fraction that has the same
numerator or denominator as your fraction. With 3/4, the 1/2 fraction you
want to use is 2/4 because they both have a 4 as the denominator.
3/4 > 2/4 Having 3 of the same sized pieces is more than having 2 of those
Now do the same with 2/8. With 2/8, the 1/2 fraction you want to use is 4/8
because they both have an 8 as the denominator.
2/8 < 4/8 Having 2 of the same sized pieces is less than having 4 of those
Since 3/4 is greater and 2/8 is less, then….. 3/4 > 2/8
1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4
1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8
This fraction strip shows you that 3/4 is past the
1/2 mark. It is greater than 1/2.
This fraction strip shows you that 2/8 is before the
1/2 mark. It is less than 1/2.

Using benchmarks means comparing each fraction to a commonly known
fraction, such as 1/2. Remember 1/2 can be written many different ways as
equivalent fractions. This means you can use those equivalent fractions to
compare and determine if a fraction is less, greater, or equal to 1/2.
** 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 5/10 = 6/12 = 7/14 = 8/16 = 9/18 = 10/20 **
Compare 3/7 and 6/9
Start with the 3/7. Find the 1/2 equivalent fraction that has the same
numerator or denominator as your fraction. With 3/7, the 1/2 fraction you
want to use is 3/6 because they both have a 3 as the numerator.
3/7 < 3/6 The denominator of 7 means you are breaking them into smaller
pieces. Even though you have 3 of those pieces for each, the pieces for 3/7
are smaller, so 3/7 is smaller.
Now do the same with 6/9. With 6/9, the 1/2 fraction you want to use is 6/12
because they both have an 6 as the numerator.
6/9 > 6/12 The denominator of 9 means you are breaking them into bigger
pieces than if you were sharing/breaking them into 12 groups/pieces. Even
though you have 6 of those pieces for each, the pieces for 6/9 are bigger, so
6/9 is bigger.
Since 3/7 is less and 6/9 is greater, then .. 3/7 < 6/9
This fraction strip shows each amount has 3
pieces. However, because the pieces are smaller,
the 3/7 is smaller than the 1/2.
This fraction strip shows each amount has 6 pieces. However, because the pieces are bigger, the 3/7 is bigger than the 1/2
1/7 1/7 1/7 1/7 1/7 1/7 1/7
1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6
1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9 1/9
1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12

Online Resources:
1. List the first few multiples for each
denominator.
2. Find the least common multiple.
3. Write equivalent fractions for each with the
new (common) denominator.
4. Compare the fractions with the same
denominator. If they have the same
denominator, they are the same size
pieces. Use the numerator to compare. 2
pieces is smaller than 3 of those same sized
pieces. So, 2/6 is less than 1/2.

4. Compare the fractions with the same
numerators. If they have the same
numerator, it means you have the same
number of pieces, but they are different
sizes The bigger the denominator, the
smaller the pieces are because you’ve
broken them up more. Think of having to
share with more people, you would get
less. The 6/10 is sharing with 10 people,
which means you’d get less than sharing
with only 9 people. The pieces for 6/10 are
smaller than the pieces in 6/9. So, 6/10 is
less than 6/9.

Chapter 6 Math Guide
I can order fractions
Use benchmarks
2 4 7
4 6 10
Less:
1/2: 2/4
Greater: 4/6 7/10
4 7 4 x5 = 20 7 x 3 = 21
6 10 6 x5 = 30 10x 3 = 30
6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30
10: 10, 20, 30, 40
Use common denominator
3 2 7 3x3= 9 2x4= 8 7x1= 7
4 3 12 4x3=12 3x4=12 12x1= 12
4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60
1. Start by comparing each fraction to the
benchmark 1/2. Put them into groups: less
than 1/2, equal to 1/2, and greater than
1/2
2. 2/4 is equal, it is the smallest fraction. 4/6
and 7/10 are in the same group. Now,
you compare those two fractions using a
common denominator or common numer-
ator.
3. List the first few multiples for the numerator
or denominator of each fraction. This ex-
ample shows the denominators.
4. Find the least common multiple and write
a new fraction with the new (common de-
nominator).
5. 21 is bigger than 20, so the order least to
greatest is… 2/4, 4/6, 7/10
1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 5/10 = 6/12 = 7/14 = 8/16 = 9/18 = 10/20
1. List the first few multiples for the
denominator in each fraction.
2. Find the least common multiple.
3. Write equivalent fractions so all the
fractions have the new (common)
denominator.
4. Compare the numerators to put the
fractions in order. Remember, when the
denominator is the same, it means they
are the same size. If the numerator is
bigger, you have more of those same
sized pieces. 7 is the smallest, then 8,
then 9 So, the order for the fractions
least to greatest is… 7/12, 2/3, 3/4
Chapter 6 Math Guide

1. List the first few multiples for the
numerator in each fraction.
2. Find the least common multiple.
3. Write equivalent fractions so all the
fractions have the new (common)
numerator.
4. Compare the denominators to put the
fractions in order. Remember, when the
numerator is the same, you have the
same number of piece, but the size is
different. The bigger the denominator,
the smaller the pieces are because
you’ve broken them up more. Think of it
as sharing. You are sharing with more
people, so you would get less. 12 would
be the smallest sized pieces, then 9, and
then 8. So, the order for the fractions
least to greatest is… 6/12, 2/3, 3/4
