  1. Fractions! In this session we will look at: What fractions tell us. Equivalent fractions – what are they? How to simplify fractions.

  2. Name the Fractions shaded Six twelfths One quarter One half Two eighths Two fifths One third Two quarters

  3. Equivalent Fractions You also need to be able to identify fractions that are the same as each other. These are known as equivalent fractions. You can find them by ‘simplifying’ the fraction you are given.

  4. How to simplify fractions You will need your division skills for this task. You may want to write the sum on paper until you get more confident at doing them! Which fraction is equivalent to 5/10 ? 4/6 1/2 1/5

  5. Step 1 – Write down your original fraction. 5 10 Step 2 - Think of a number that both sides of the fraction can be divided by without any remainders. I.e. a number that both 5 & 10 can be divided by. Step 3 – When you have thought of a number try it as follows. We will try ‘5’. 5 5 = 1 10 5 = 2 Step 4 – The sum works out to ½ so this is your answer!

  6. Simplifying fractions 2/10 = 3/9 = 5/15 = 6/48 = 4/24 = 8/16 =

  7. Simplifying fractions 2/10 = 1/5 3/9 = 1/3 5/15 = 1/3 6/48 = 1/8 4/24 = 1/6 8/16 = 1/2

  8. Simplifying fractions 5/20 = 9/45 = 7/56 = 16/32 = 25/55 = 77/99 =

  9. Simplifying fractions 5/20 = 1/4 9/45 = 1/5 7/56 = 1/8 16/32 = 1/2 25/55 = 5/11 77/99 = 7/9

  10. Now try these on your own! 4/6 2/10 8/10 6/15 9/12 10/12 4/8 3/18 8/12 6/9 12/15 7/70 15/18 6/60
