Chapter 2: Fractions

LESSON 2
Equivalent Fractions
Lesson Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, the student should be able to:

• Visualize equivalent fractions;


• Generate equivalent fractions from the given fraction;
• Find the missing part of the equivalent fractions; and
• Solve word problems Involving equivalent fractions and
simplest form of fractions.
Did you know?
Mars has 2 moons- Deimos and Phobos.
Let’s Discuss
We can say that Deimos is one out of the two moons of Mars
which is ½ in fraction form.

One-half could be represented as this:


If we divide the same figure equally into 4 equal parts, the
shaded figure represents two-fourths as shown below.

We didn’t change the shaded region but we only divided the


figure into smaller parts.
In this case, 1/2 and 2/4 look different but they have same
values. 1/2 and 2/4 are called equivalent fractions.

The word equivalent means, equal or same value. So


equivalent fractions are fractions which are equal or with the
same value.

If we take a look at 1/2 and 2/4, 1/2 becomes 2/4 by multiplying


it by a fractions equal to 1, which is 2/2. We can illustrate this
as .

We can also generate more equivalent fractions for by


multiplying it by a fraction equal to one.
Study the Equivalent Fractions chart below

The illustration above clearly shows that ½ is equal to


two .. It is also equal to eight .
Let us take another example. Let us give equivalent fractions
for 16/20. Sixteen-twentieth could be represented as follows:

Minimizing the number of divisions of the same figure, we


could illustrate it as follows.
Let’s Do These

Perform the following tasks.

Activity 1
Make five fractions equivalent to one half using the fraction
tiles. Sketch your work abel the parts, shade each fraction,
and name each fraction,

Activity 2
Make four fractions equivalent to orie thed using the
fraction tiles. Sketch your work, label the parts, shade each
fraction, and name each fraction.
Activity 3

Make three fractions equivalent to one-fourth using the


fraction tiles. Sketch your work, label the parts, shade each
fraction, and name each fraction.

Teacher’s Notes

Divide the class into three groups. Distribute the worksheet and fraction tiles.
Fraction tiles should be composed of 1 whole, halves, thirds, fourths, fifths,
sixths, eighths, tenths and twelfths. Have each group do Activities 1-3

Ask: What patterns do you notice in fractions equivalent to .


Let’s Recall

• Equivalent fractions are fractions that look


different but have the same value.
• To find the equivalent fraction of a given fraction, multiply or
divide its numerator and denominator by the same number

• To express a fraction in its simplest form, divide the


numerator and the denominator by the same number until no
number except 1 can divide both of them.
Let’s Practice

A. Shade the part/s of the figure to show equivalent fractions. Then, write the
equivalent fractions generated on the blank.
B. Give five equivalent fractions from the given fraction.
C. Find the missing numerator or denominator to make the
fractions equivalent.
D. Express in west form.
