Please complete Week 2 Lesson 5 – Equivalent Fractions – This lesson builds on your knowledge of the numerator and denominator in fractions to help you compare them. You will look at bar models to help you to see if the fractions are equivalent.
You can find the video and resources for today’s lesson here https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

Make sure you click on week 2, Lesson 5. Watch the clip and follow the instructions.

Please remember if you don’t have a printer you can copy into your maths book or onto paper. Try and complete as best as you can.

When you have finished use the answer sheet to mark your work.

Things to remember

• Remember the denominator (the bottom number) tells you how many equal parts you divide the whole into. So if you are finding 2/3 the 3 will tell you how many sections to split your bar model into.
• Remember the numerator (the top number) tells you how many parts we are looking at.
• Bar models must be the same size when comparing fractions.
• For question 7 use your knowledge of multiples of 4 to help you.
