About this worksheet
Twelve pairs of fractions that are equal, each with one number missing: one half equals how many sixths, three fourths equals six over what. Sometimes the missing number is on top and sometimes on the bottom, so a child cannot fall into one pattern.
A fraction strip helper at the top shows three equivalent pairs shaded side by side, one half with four eighths, one third with two sixths and three fourths with six eighths. It is there to lean on, because third graders are meant to see that equivalent fractions take up the same amount of space before they learn any shortcut for finding them. Every denominator stays within halves, thirds, fourths, sixths and eighths.
The strips are shaded in gray and the rest is black line art, so it prints cleanly in black and white.
