4th grade equivalent and comparing fractions
Quick answer
In 4th grade (ages 9–10), children make equivalent fractions and compare fractions with different numerators and denominators. Lessons include Math with Mr. J "Equivalent Fractions Using Models", Khan Academy "Intro to comparing fractions" and a Numberock song. Play all on repeat, or loop one fraction model until it makes sense.

What does this 4th grade fractions unit cover?
It introduces equivalent fractions with fraction strips, area models and number lines, then comparing fractions by finding a common denominator or numerator or using a benchmark like 1/2. By the end a child should explain why 2/3 equals 4/6 and whether 3/8 or 2/3 is bigger.
How does RepeatWatch help with fractions?
Set an A–B loop on one fraction strip or number line model so a child can see it several times. Slow to 0.75× for comparing steps, save the equivalent and comparing sections on keys 1–9, and use Repeat one on the Numberock song.
Frequently asked questions
What grade learns equivalent fractions?
In the US, children meet simple equivalent fractions in 3rd grade and extend them to denominators like 5, 8, 10, 12 and 100 in 4th grade (ages 9–10). Grade levels vary by country and school.
What is a benchmark fraction?
A benchmark is a fraction that is easy to picture, such as 0, 1/2 or 1. Comparing each fraction to 1/2 is a quick way to tell which is bigger without finding a common denominator. Stop after a few loops and try examples on paper.
