Number Line Worksheet for Equivalent Fractions Practice

Understanding Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same value, even though they may look different. For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions because they both represent the same part of a whole. In this worksheet, we will practice identifying equivalent fractions using a number line.

What is a Number Line?

A number line is a visual representation of numbers on a line. It can help us compare and order numbers, as well as understand relationships between different numbers. In the case of equivalent fractions, a number line can help us see that different fractions can represent the same value.

Using a Number Line to Identify Equivalent Fractions

Here is a number line with some fractions marked:

Let's use this number line to identify some equivalent fractions.

Example 1: Identifying Equivalent Fractions

Which fraction is equivalent to 1/2?

• 1/4
• 2/4
• 3/4
• 1

Using the number line, we can see that 2/4 is equivalent to 1/2 because they both represent the same value.

Example 2: Identifying Equivalent Fractions

Which fraction is equivalent to 3/4?

• 1/4
• 2/4
• 6/8
• 1

Using the number line, we can see that 6/8 is equivalent to 3/4 because they both represent the same value.
