Fraction lessons for primary pupils

Using our maths scheme of work, you can browse each block of work and discover our fractions lessons. Each block contains fractions lesson plans, fractions lesson slides, fractions differentiated worksheets and more to help you teach fractions with ease. Fractions are first covered in year 1, with additional depth for each year group as children’s maths skills develop.

Equivalent fractions resources

We have a range of equivalent fractions resources  to help teach this tricky concept and guide you through each lesson. But what are equivalent fractions?

Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same amount or the same part of a whole, even though they may look different. In other words, they have the same overall value, but their numerical representations may vary.

For example, consider the fractions ½ and 2/4. Although they look different, they both represent the same quantity: half of a whole. This makes them equivalent fractions.

Equivalent fractions can be found by multiplying or dividing both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) of a fraction by the same non-zero number. Since multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number doesn’t change the overall value of the fraction, the resulting fraction is still equivalent to the original one.

For instance, if we take the fraction ½ and multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get 2/4, which is an equivalent fraction. Similarly, if we take 2/4 and divide both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get 1/2, which is also an equivalent fraction.

Understanding equivalent fractions is important in various mathematical operations, such as comparing fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, and simplifying fractions. It allows us to express fractions in different forms while representing the same quantity or portion of a whole.
