Help an archer to hit an apple with his arrow. Build two fractions to make a total of one whole. Complete the numerators of both fractions (they may have fixed denominators). For example, work out how many quarters and how many eighths can be added together to total one whole. Look at fraction bars and a number line to compare the two fractions and their total. This learning object is one in a series of seven objects.
Objective
1. Students explore the effect of changing the numerator and denominator on the type and size of a fraction.
2. Students identify pairs of fractions that add up to one whole.
3. Students find equivalent fractions.
