Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
E.g. 1. Use fraction chart to illustrate the concept of equivalent fractions (i.e. equal fractions that have different fractional units or denominators) i.e. one-half is 2-fourths, 3-sixth or 4-eighths. E.g. 2. Illustrate the relationship between fractions and their equivalences by observing the different fractional units or denominators (i.e. the numerator is multiplied by the number of units the denominator is further broken into)
E.g. 3. Ask pupils to colour fractions that are equivalent to given fractions or write more equivalent fractions for give n fractions
E.g. 4. To determine the equivalent fractions of given fractions, find the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD) and use this to express the equivalent fractions that are comparable
