Playing around with models of equivalent fractions can help your students visualise equal areas. These models can also be useful for developing proportional reasoning skills. Comparing Halves challenges your students to find different ways to create a half from quarters and also from eighths. In this activity, Lee wants to create a flower garden with equal areas of red and yellow flowers so your students manipulate equivalent fractions while trying to work out a solution. This is a useful way to revise flexible thinking with your Stage 3 students.
