Warm-up
Begin with a True or False activity to engage students conceptually. Display the following statements one at a time on the board:
12 is equivalent to 24.
36 is equivalent to 13.
48 is equivalent to 12.
Ask students to signal true or false for each statement. After responses, select a few students to explain their reasoning. Record their explanations to highlight understanding of equivalent fractions using visual models. This activity primes students for deeper exploration of equivalent fractions in the lesson.

Word Problem: Finding Equivalent Fractions
Ms. Connell's 4th-grade class is learning about equivalent fractions. Jenna has a pizza that is divided into 8 equal slices. She eats 3 slices, leaving behind 5 slices. SamTom has a pizza that is divided into 12 equal slices. If he eats 4 slices, how many slices will he have left? Papa Jones has a pizza divided into 16 equal slices. she wants to share it equally between two friends. If each friend gets the same amount of pizza, how many slices will each friend receive?
Can you help Jenna, SamTom, and Papa Jones find equivalent fractions to represent the remaining slices of pizza they have after their delicious meals?
