Product description
From the author
Explore equivalent fractions with an explanation page and six practice Fractions Worksheets. Students use fraction bars, fill missing values, color equivalent-fraction balloons, solve a riddle, check a fictional student’s homework and multiply or divide to generate equivalents.
Six matching answer pages support checking. The 15-page PDF also includes a cover and creator information. Select the practice that matches the current lesson; illustrations appear in several activities throughout the set.
