Original Prompt

create a 4th grade math worksheet on exploring equivalent fractions. Have students shade in a pre-made model of a given fraction, determine if shaded fractions are equivalent, and show how to multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction

This learning resource focuses on the concept of equivalent fractions, aiming to help students understand that different fractions can represent the same value. The worksheet incorporates visual models to illustrate how fractions can appear different while maintaining equivalent value, such as showing that 1/2 is the same as 2/4 through a visual model. It includes worked examples demonstrating how to find equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number. The resource features several practice problems where students shade models and write equivalent fractions. It also includes independent practice for students to determine if given fractions are equivalent, with guiding questions for explanation. Overall, this resource is designed to build a strong foundational understanding of equivalent fractions.
