Performance
• 
Ask students to create sets of equivalent fractions using double-sided 
counters.
(5N7.1)
• 
Ask students to make an array showing using double-sided 
counters placed on individual whiteboards. Then, using whiteboard 
markers, they should create sets of equivalent fractions.

Journal
• 
Ask students to colour and cut out fraction strips to show sets of 
equivalent fractions. These can be glued into journals. They should 
explain how they know their sets are equivalent.

Achievement Indicator:
5N7.3 Determine if two given 
fractions are equivalent using 
concrete materials or pictorial 
representations.
Students should determine whether two given fractions are equivalent 
by using the manipulatives they have worked with in creating equivalent 
fractions.
Emphasize that the whole figures or whole sets have to be the same size 
in order to compare them. 
When comparing
