Two fractions are equivalent if they have the same value

The identity property of multiplication and division

Maths

In this unit, pupils have explored the structure of fractions and their relationship with decimals and integers. This is built on in the future unit where pupils deepen their understanding of the arithmetic procedures involving fractions and integers.

In this unit, pupils will be asked to compare and order both fractions and decimals and will assess when conversion is required. Fluency in working with decimals and integers is an important skill which is developed in the prior unit.

Comparing and ordering fractions and decimals (positive and negative)

Two fractions are {{ }} if they have the same value.

Use the diagram to help you find two more fractions that are equivalent to $$2 \over 5$$.

Andeep writes: $$\frac{3\times \square}{4\times \square} = \frac{9}{12}$$. What number should Andeep write in each box? {{ }}

Select all the fractions that are equivalent to $$1 \over 3$$.

Select all the fractions that are equivalent to $$4 \over 9$$.
