Equivalent Fractions Worksheet – Write

Equivalent fractions are two fractions that look different but name the exact same amount, like 1/2 and 2/4. The Equivalent Fractions Worksheet – Write helps fourth graders see and build these matching fractions by shading fraction bars and by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number — a core skill for comparing, adding, and simplifying fractions later on.

This 4th grade fractions worksheet has two parts. In Part A, students read shaded fraction bars and write the equivalent fraction each model shows. In Part B, they complete eight equations by filling in the missing numerator that makes each pair of fractions equal. Use it for guided math practice, a fractions center, morning work, or homework, then check every answer with the included answer key.

What’s Included

• 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
• Answer key
• Two practice sections: 3 fraction-bar models and 8 fill-in equations

The Equivalent Fractions Worksheet – Write builds understanding in three ways. First, the shaded bar models connect the idea of equal amounts to a picture students can see. Second, finding the missing numerator gives repeated practice with the multiply-the-top-and-bottom rule until it becomes automatic. Third, the built-in answer key lets learners check their work and fix mistakes right away, building accuracy and confidence with fractions.

Teachers and parents can make equivalent fractions hands-on. Fold paper strips into halves, fourths, and eighths to compare equal shares, or use pizza and pie snacks to show that 1/2 and 2/4 cover the same space. Play matching games with fraction cards, challenge students to list three fractions equal to 1/2, or have them draw their own bar models. A quick fractions song or chant is a fun warm-up before practice.

Keep the finished worksheet nearby as a handy reference for the next fractions lesson, and revisit it whenever students need a fast refresher on building equal fractions with the multiply-the-top-and-bottom rule.
