💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed as a practice activity for Year 4 pupils who are learning about equivalent fractions. It can be used after an introductory lesson on the topic, either in class or as a homework assignment. For pupils who are struggling, provide them with fraction walls or other visual aids to help them identify equivalent fractions. Encourage them to draw their own diagrams if needed. A common mistake is to only multiply or divide the numerator without doing the same to the denominator. Remind pupils that to find an equivalent fraction, you must multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number. For pupils who complete the worksheet quickly, challenge them to create their own equivalent fraction problems or to find multiple equivalent fractions for each given fraction.
