About this resource
Match ten anchor fractions with equivalent fractions on lettered boats, then record the matching letters.
- One-page equivalent-fractions worksheet
- Ten anchors in two outer columns with answer boxes
- Ten lettered boats in the middle column
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Inspect denominator range before assigning a grade or Year; matching is a narrow equivalence task. OCR includes denominators40 and72; simplification and equivalence fit Grade7 rather than restricting to Grade5 twelfths. Common-factor simplification supports Year6; larger denominators make the earlier diagram-only claim incomplete. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
