Fractions Equivalence Chart

The Fractions Equivalence Chart is designed to support upper primary students consolidating knowledge of equivalent fractions.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to investigate equivalent fractions, e.g. halves, quarters and eighths or thirds and sixths.
  • We are learning to make connections between equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages.
  • We are learning to find equivalent representations of fractions and make connections between fractions and decimals, e.g. ¼ of 1 metre = .25m or 25cm.
  • We are learning to recognise that 100% represents a whole and use percentages to describe, represent and compare relative percentages visually, e.g. shading a hundreds grid and connect percentages to their decimal and fraction equivalents.
  • We are learning to compare, order and represent common fractions including halves, thirds and quarters on the same number line and justify their order.
