Fraction Equivalent Transform

Multiplying both numerator and denominator by the same number keeps the fraction value equal

About This Practice

Cut a circle into 4 parts and take 1, then into 8 parts and take 2, then 12 parts and take 3 โ€” the shaded amount never changes! These are equivalent fractions: multiply numerator and denominator by the same number and the value stays put. Drag the multiplier slider and watch both circles shade equal amounts.

Explore equivalent fractions through interactive circle visualization. Compare original fractions with their equivalent forms, see how dividing circles into more parts doesn't change the value. Use the slider to adjust the multiplier and watch the transformation in real-time. Features: side-by-side circle comparison, highlighted segments showing equivalence, equation representation, and interactive multiplier control.

How to Play

  1. Look at the left circle: how many equal parts, how many shaded?
  2. Drag the multiplier and watch the right circle split into more parts.
  3. Compare the shaded regions on both sides โ€” are they the same size?
  4. Read the equation below: multiplying both numerator and denominator keeps the value.
  5. Start from another fraction and find several equivalents of it.
