Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Construct a visual model showing that 2/4 and 1/2 are equivalent fractions. Use shaded regions to illustrate.
[3 marks]
2.
Identify which of the following visual models represents the fraction 3/6: (A) shaded 3 out of 6 equal parts, (B) shaded 2 out of 4, (C) shaded 4 out of 8.
[1 mark]
3.
Using a grid, draw a fraction 5/8 and then shade the equivalent fraction 10/16. Show both models side by side.
[4 marks]
4.
Explain why the visual models for 4/8 and 1/2 are equivalent. Include your reasoning based on the shaded regions.
[2 marks]
5.
A rectangle is divided into 12 equal parts. Shaded regions show 3/12 and 6/24. Are these fractions equivalent? Use visual models to justify your answer.
[3 marks]
6.
Construct a visual model to compare 7/10 and 14/20. Which is larger? Show your reasoning with shaded regions.
[3 marks]
7.
A student claims that 3/9 and 1/3 are not equivalent based on visual models. Is this correct? Justify your answer with a diagram and explanation.
[4 marks]
8.
Identify and correct the mistake in the following visual model: A diagram shows 5/10 shaded, and the student concludes it is not equivalent to 1/2. Explain your correction.
[3 marks]
9.
Challenge: Draw a visual model that demonstrates that 3/4 is not equivalent to 2/3. Use shaded regions to justify your conclusion.
[4 marks]
10.
Using visual models, explain how to find an equivalent fraction for 6/8. Show at least two different models.
[4 marks]
