About this resource
Description
Two fractions can look different and still name the same amount. This they’re equal equivalent fractions activity helps 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students see that idea with pizza fraction models, then match each pizza to the equal fraction written with different numbers.
Students spread out twelve Fraction Cards, then pick a Pizza Card and count its slices and its cheesy slices. They name the pizza’s fraction, such as 6/8, and hunt for the Fraction Card that is equal to it, such as 3/4. Every pizza has exactly one equal card, so the set checks itself. Students record each pair on the Equal Pairs sheet and finish with a practice page where they shade a second pizza to show an equal fraction. This 3rd grade fractions activity works well in a math center, with a partner or as a whole-class review.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page and a How to Use page
- 12 Pizza Cards with fraction models
- 12 Fraction Cards
- An Equal Pairs recording sheet
- A 3rd grade practice worksheet with 6 shade-and-write problems
- Answer keys for the recording sheet and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Pizza models make it easy to see that 4/8 and 1/2 cover the same amount.
- Matching pairs builds the reasoning students need to compare and add fractions later.
- A fun, hands-on game keeps fraction practice moving and engaging.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Turn the cards face down and play a memory game with them. Ask students to explain a match out loud by multiplying the top and bottom numbers by the same number. Challenge older students to name a third equal fraction for every pair. Use the they’re equal equivalent fractions activity again before units on comparing or adding fractions.
