Equivalent fractions: label and circle matching shaded shapes in a Seesaw activity

Grade 3 (Year 4, age 8 to 9) · 40 min · 1 tablet per child

After a lesson on fraction walls, Year 4 practise spotting equivalent fractions in a Seesaw activity the teacher has built from the class's usual worksheet. Each of six pages shows three shaded bars, circles or squares, and children drag a fraction label onto each shape and then circle the two shapes on the page that show the same amount. Page six holds a trap, 2/3 beside 3/4, which look close but are not equal. Children work alone while the teacher works with a small group at the fraction walls, then the teacher looks through the submitted pages after the lesson and plans the next day's starter from the ones most children got wrong.

Why this is Interactive Replace

Children drag labels and circle matching shapes, working with the content rather than watching it. The pages are the class's equivalent-fractions worksheet with the same shapes, the same trap and the teacher's marking after the lesson, so Seesaw changes where the worksheet sits and nothing about the task or its feedback.

Compared with

The same six-part worksheet done at the table and marked by the teacher after the lesson.

Watch out

If children recorded a voice note explaining how they knew each pair matched, and the teacher listened during the lesson and re-taught from what she heard, the lesson would use what Seesaw adds and would be Interactive Amplify.
