They cover the whole equivalent fractions unit, including the missing numerator or denominator, simplifying, and tenths and hundredths. Use these fraction activities for math centers, morning work, small group review, homework and early finishers. There's an answer key for every case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery case is set in a bakery, with cakes and pies cut into equal slices. Students see the same amount cut into different sized pieces on every page. Students find each missing number, match it to a suspect and cross that name off, which means they check their own multiplying as they work. Each page is self-checking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTen one-page detective cases on equivalent fractions, each with an answer key\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCases that build from the missing numerator to the missing denominator, working backwards, tenths and hundredths, and mixed pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA reference page showing how to multiply up, divide down, and why adding the difference gives the wrong answer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA contents page, teacher instructions, a detective case log and a certificate of achievement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30 black and white pages, ready to print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cases\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sliced Birthday Cake\u003c\/strong\u003e - finding the missing numerator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Missing Cherries\u003c\/strong\u003e - missing numerators with bigger numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wobbly Wedding Cake\u003c\/strong\u003e - finding the missing denominator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wrong Candles\u003c\/strong\u003e - more missing denominators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sunken Sponge\u003c\/strong\u003e - working backwards by dividing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Empty Pie\u003c\/strong\u003e - simplifying to find the missing number\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sprinkle Spill\u003c\/strong\u003e - tenths and hundredths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Leaning Tower\u003c\/strong\u003e - missing number on the top or bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Heart Mix-Up\u003c\/strong\u003e - multiplying up and dividing down\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Grand Opening\u003c\/strong\u003e - mixed review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Use This Resource\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cases move from the missing numerator to the missing denominator, then working backwards, tenths and hundredths, and mixed pages. You can hand out one case at a time through the unit, or pull a single page when a group needs more practice. The early cases suit students meeting equivalent fractions for the first time, and the later ones stretch a class that is ready to work in both directions. You can also use it for guided math, sub plans, test prep and end of year fraction review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade Levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for 4th grade, where equivalent fractions and tenths to hundredths are taught.
