Activity Instructions

Toss a bean bag onto the mat. Hop to the bean bag and say the fraction the beanbag landed on out loud. Next, find an equivalent fraction (one that is the same size) by sliding your foot along the mat horizontally, using the black lines at the top of the fractions as a guide. If your foot slides to the top of another fraction they are equivalent. Name both fractions as equal. For example. Find 1/2, stand at the black line at the top of 1/2 box slide your foot towards the thirds, keep going until it hits the top of the 2/4 box. Stand back and see how 1/2 is equal to 2/4. Keep going across the mat to see what else 1/2 equals.
