Mastering Fractions: Equivalents, Ordering, and Conversions

Learning Objectives

At the end of the lesson, you will understand equivalent fractions, how to order fractions, and convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages.

What do you already know about fractions and their conversions?

Understanding Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions have the same value. Example: 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4. Simplify or expand fractions to find equivalents.

Interactive: Finding Equivalent Fractions

Use the fraction strips or online tool to create and identify equivalent fractions.

Ordering Fractions

To order fractions, convert them to have a common denominator or compare their decimal forms.

Interactive: Ordering Fractions Activity

Order these fractions: 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, 2/5. Use visual aids or a number line.

Converting Fractions to Decimals

Divide the numerator by the denominator to convert a fraction to a decimal. Example: 1/4 = 0.25.

Converting Fractions to Percentages

Multiply the decimal form of a fraction by 100 to get a percentage. Example: 0.25 x 100 = 25%.
