Finding Equivalent Fractions

Finding Equivalent Fractions

Aim of the Game:

Here’s a practical way of finding equivalent fractions.

What do you need?

  • Plastic cake containers
  • Number discs
  • Counters

How to Play:

  • Place counters in the first two sections to build your first fractions (in this case 1/3). Children then place the correct number discs on top.
  • Multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 and place the correct number of counters in the next section.
  • Then place the corresponding number discs to make the fraction.
  • Continue until you have found several equivalent fractions.
