Multiply top and bottom by the same number

2/3 and 8/12 are equal because both the numerator and the denominator were multiplied by 4. Ask: what was the bottom multiplied by? Then do the same to the top.

Why it matters

Equivalent fractions let students compare fractions with different denominators and add them — so it is worth getting fluent here first.

Make it a timed challenge
