What do we call these
fractions?
DISSIMILAR
The given fractions are Dissimilar
because their denominators are
not the same.

2) Ben has a cut-out rectangle. He
folded it into 4 equal parts and
shaded 3 parts. Draw the
rectangle made by
Ben and give the fraction
representing these shaded parts.
Then, draw another fraction
beside the illustration you made
to make a pair of dissimilar
3) Camille has 2 circles of the same
size. She folded the first circle into 4
equal parts while the second one
was divided into 8 equal parts. If she
shaded 3 parts in the
first circle and 3 parts in the second
circle, are the resulting fractions
representing these shaded parts
similar?

3) Camille has 2 circles of the same size.
She folded the first circle into 4 equal
parts while the second one was divided
into 8 equal parts. If she shaded 3 parts in
the first circle and 2 parts in the second
circle, are the resulting fractions
representing these shaded parts similar?
No. they are dissimilar.
