Equivalent Fractions Explained — KS3 Maths
A clear KS3 lesson on equivalent fractions: multiply (or divide) the top and bottom by the same number. Worked examples plus bar models that prove the value stays the same.
Equivalent fractions look different but are worth exactly the same. This lesson shows the rule — multiply the top and bottom by the same number — and uses bar models to prove the value never changes, then works through finding a missing numerator.
