Finding equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions

Spine 3: Fractions – Topic 3.7

Introduction

Discover how equivalent fractions have the same proportional relationship between the numerator and denominator, and therefore have the same numerical value. Convert between equivalent fractions and simplify fractions.

Teaching points

  • Teaching point 1 : When two fractions have different numerators and denominators to one another but share the same numerical value, they are called ‘equivalent fractions’.  
  • Teaching point 2 : Equivalent fractions share the same proportional (multiplicative) relationship between the numerator and denominator. Equivalent fractions can be generated by maintaining that relationship through the process of multiplication and division.  
  • Teaching point 3 : Fractions can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by a common factor.

Year 5 - Number

Standard 5.NS.1.4 - Find the equivalent fraction.

Included Skills:

Number - fractions (including decimals and percentages) • Pupils should be taught to: - compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number - identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually, including tenths and hundredths - recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions and convert from one form to the other and write mathematical statements > 1 as a mixed number [for example, 2/5 + 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5] - add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number - multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams - read and write decimal numbers as fractions [for example, 0.71 = 10071] - recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents - round decimals with two decimal places to the nearest whole number and to one decimal place - read, write, order and compare numbers with up to three decimal places - solve problems involving number up to three decimal places - recognise the per cent symbol (%) and understand that per cent relates to 'number of parts per hundred', and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100, and as a decimal - solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5 and those fractions with a denominator of a multiple of 10 or 25.
