Equivalent Fractions
Name______________________________ Date______________________
Equivalent is another word for equal to or the same. Fractions that are equivalent
are equal. They are different names for the same size parts of a whole or a group.
Fractions that do not name the same size part are not equivalent.
Shade the first shape to show the fraction. Then shade the second shape so that it is
equivalent. Finish the math sentence by writing the fraction for the second shape.
