4th Grade Equivalent Fractions Game

4th Grade Equivalent Fractions Game - Before we proceed to more abstract math concepts, we should learn more about equivalent fractions. This topic can be a fun learning process for children to discover more facts about the entirety of fractions that they have not known or realized before, and at the same time, build and improve their confidence in fraction manipulations for the near future. In a real-life situation, take for example a half-cut pizza, no matter how we divide the pizza into much smaller pieces, it is still a half-cut pizza originally. Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value, regardless of the fact that they may look different. You may wonder and ask, “Why are they the same?” It is because when you divide both the numerator (top value) and denominator (bottom value) by the same number, the fraction keeps its value. Here is the process: 1. Choose the number you divide by carefully, consider a number that is divisible by both numbers so that the results or quotient stay as whole numbers. Repeat the dividing process until we get the simplified version of the fraction. It’s not that hard to do, right? Now it’s your time to test your understanding with the help of our riveting and amusing game! Good luck and have fun !
