Area Model Equivalent Fractions

4.NF.1
Module 4
Differentiation Activity

The first student will draw a rectangle with a ruler and partition it into equal parts.  They will shade in parts of that whole and write the matching fraction.  The second student will then split their fraction into smaller parts and write the equivalent fraction.

I used centimeter grid paper under a piece of white paper in a sheet protector, and it made it easier to create pieces instead of a ruler.
