1 Lesson 7 Find Equivalent Fractions Name: Prerequisite: Identify Equivalent Fractions Study the example showing how to decide if two fractions are equivalent. Then solve problems 7. Example The bars are the same size. The parts are different sizes. The same amount is shaded on each bar. So,. and are equivalent fractions. Shade the bars to show the equivalent fractions. Write the equivalent fractions these bars show. Vocabulary equivalent fractions fractions that name the same number. and are equivalent. Curriculum Associates, LLC Copying is not permitted.

8 Write the whole number for each fraction M Write the fraction for each whole number. M Explain how to write a whole number as a fraction with a denominator of. Bella says this model shows wholes. She says it shows that if you write the whole number as a fraction, you have to write. How can you explain to Bella that there are other ways to write as a fraction? Vocabulary numerator the number above the line in a fraction; it tells how many equal parts are described. denominator the number below the line in a fraction; it tells how many equal parts are in the whole. 9 Lesson 7 Find Equivalent Fractions Curriculum Associates, LLC Copying is not permitted.
