💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used after an introductory lesson on equivalent fractions. It can be used as independent practice, a small group activity, or as a formative assessment tool. Before assigning the worksheet, review the concept of equivalent fractions using visual aids such as fraction walls or circles. For students who struggle, provide manipulatives like fraction bars to help them visualise the fractions. Encourage students to draw their own diagrams to help them find equivalent fractions. Watch out for common mistakes such as only multiplying the numerator or denominator by a number, or not simplifying fractions to their simplest form. As an extension activity, challenge students to create their own cooking-themed problems involving equivalent fractions.
