Equivalent fractions is the name... of fractions whole values are the same! With the added touch of a Latin video in the musical track, equivalent fractions will be easy to understand - it's just an added bonus that the music and animations are hard to beat in their level of awesomeness.

Song Lyrics:

Once upon a time, there were nine canaries
On telephone wires, sittin' down in threes.
Each wire contained one third of the birds,
So three ninths is equivalent to one third.
Drawing 1/3 and 3/9 on a number line
Shows 1/3 equals three parts out of nine.
Therefore, equivalent is the word
That describes 3/9 and 1/3.

(CHORUS)
Equivalent fractions is the name
For fractions whose values are the same.

If there were four socks to wear,
Then we would say there'd be two in each pair;
And one of the two pairs, we can declare,
Equals two fourths of all the socks there.
Drawing one half and two fourths on a number line
Shows they can be described with an equal sign;
An equal value is what they're worth,
So we say one half is equivalent to two fourths.

(CHORUS)

If the numerator and denominator share a common factor,
Then you can divide the top and bottom by the same number.
On top and under, and say with satisfaction,
"We found an equivalent fraction."
And you can multiply the top and the bottom
By the same number on top and under,
Which is really a fraction whose value equals one,
And through this action we found an equivalent fraction!

How to Find Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions have the same value, even if their numerators and denominators are different.

So far, you've already learned to draw area models and number lines to recognize equivalent fractions.

Drawing models and number lines can be quite hard. 😌

Imagine drawing a model for 17/20! That's going to take you a very long time.

😃 But don't worry. There are faster ways to find equivalent fractions - you can use multiplication and division!

Equivalent Fractions Review

An important thing to remember about equivalent fractions is that they have the same value.

Just like these fractions:

They look different, but their values are the same.

Equivalent Fractions By Division

In the last lesson, you learned to simplify fractions by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number:

Simplifying fractions is one way to find equivalent fractions. By dividing both the numerator and the denominator by a common number, you find other fractions that have the same value.

😎 Think about this: If you can find equivalent fractions by dividing, can you also find equivalent fractions by multiplying?

Yes, you can! 👍

Equivalent Fractions by Multiplication

If you take any fraction and multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, you'll get an equivalent fraction!

🤓 Just like when dividing, be sure to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Let's Practice

Try to use multiplication and division to solve this problem:

Find two fractions equivalent to 6/9.

👉 Let's use division first.

🤔 What's the biggest number that you can divide 6 and 9 by?

That's right! Both numbers are divisible by 3. 😉

The fraction we got is 2/3.

👉 Now, let's use multiplication.

Let's try to multiply 6 and 9 by 2.

We now have 2 equivalent fractions for 6/9! 🤗

Let's Review

To find equivalent fractions, same number.multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator by the

Great job learning how to find equivalent fractions! 😀

Are you ready for some practice? 💪
