Equivalent fractions, Mix and Match

Equivalent fractions, Mix and Match is a Grade 3 whole-class activity that gets students moving while they compare fractions. Each student receives a fraction card and looks for the classmate holding an equivalent value. After pairs are found, the fractions are placed in order on a paper number line, extending the activity from equivalence into fraction magnitude.

Use it when you want equivalent-fraction practice to include conversation and movement instead of staying entirely at desks. Students must explain why two cards belong together, then consider where that value sits relative to the rest of the class set.
