Steps To Success: I can explain what a faction is and define what the numerator and denominator is I can identify the value of a fraction using diagrams I can recognise equivalent fractions on a diagram
For some fraction problems you will need to use your knowledge of equivalent fractions to help you. These shapes may be tricky to identify the number of sections that need to be shaded, as the fraction given does not correspond with the total amount of sections the shape has been divided into.
1 2
1) When this happen, first find out how many section your shape has been divided into, in this case the shape has been divided into 12 equal parts. 2) Then simply find of 12 and you have calculated the number of sections you must shade in to find
- f your shape. So you must shade in 6 sections.
3) Finally you can record your equivalent fractions
Shade in of this shape:
1 2
1 2 6 12
