1. Which fraction is not equivalent and is the odd one out?
1 2 3
5
2 4 7 10
All the fractions are equal to a half except for 3 . You can check this using the fraction wall. In the
7
equivalent fractions the bottom number is twice as big as the top number. 3 is different as 7 is not
7
exactly twice as big as 3, so it’s not equal to half.
2. Which fraction is not equivalent and is the odd one out?
1 3 3
4
3 6 9 12
All the fractions are equal to a third except for 3 . You can check this using the fraction wall. In the
6
equivalent fractions the bottom number is three times as big as the top number. 3 is different as 6
6
