Description

Support your students as they explore and understand equivalent fractions with our bold and visual Fraction Wall Posters! These eye-catching posters are the perfect classroom display to reinforce fraction concepts, allowing students to clearly see how different fractions relate to one another in size and value. Whether you're introducing equivalence for the first time or revisiting it for consolidation, this resource provides a visual anchor your students can refer to throughout the year.


Each poster presents a horizontal fraction wall, with each row representing a different denominator. As students compare the rows, they can identify which fractions are equivalent to one another, such as ½ = 2⁄4 or 3⁄6. This visual structure allows learners to make concrete connections between abstract numbers and real quantities, supporting them in recognising patterns and relationships within fractions. Perfect for displaying during your fractions unit, or year-round as a permanent classroom reference!


Fraction Wall Posters include three versions to suit a range of year levels and curriculum needs. Version 1 focuses on common denominators up to tenths, while Version 3 extends to twelfths and includes more complex values such as sevenths and elevenths. Each version is provided in both full colour and black and white. The colour versions are ideal for your maths display wall or interactive whiteboard use, while the black and white options are perfect for students to colour, label and add to their own maths books for ongoing reference.


Key Learning Outcomes:

  • ✅ Recognise equivalent fractions using visual models
  • ✅ Represent fractions as parts of a whole using a fraction wall
  • ✅ Compare the size of different fractions through visual alignment
  • ✅ Strengthen understanding of denominator values and fractional relationships
  • ✅ Use fraction walls as a reference to support problem-solving and reasoning

What’s Included:

  • 3 versions of the fraction wall posters:
  • – Version 1: One, halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths, ninths and tenths
  • – Version 2: One, halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, eighths, ninths, tenths and twelfths
  • – Version 3: One, halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, sevenths, eighths, ninths, tenths, elevenths and twelfths
  • Full colour posters for classroom display
  • Black and white versions for student colouring and workbook reference

Materials Needed:

  • Printed posters (on paper or card)
  • Optional: laminator for durability
  • Optional: student access to colouring materials for black and white versions

How to Use:

  1. Choose the version that aligns with your students' current learning or curriculum goals.
  2. Print the colour versions to display on your maths wall or use on the interactive whiteboard during lessons.
  3. Distribute the black and white versions to students for individual use.
  4. Have students colour and label their fraction wall, then glue into their maths workbooks for ongoing reference.
  5. Encourage students to refer to the fraction wall during maths tasks, particularly when comparing or simplifying fractions.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

  • 💡 Display fraction walls during your fractions unit as a key learning tool.
  • 💡 Use as a discussion prompt for exploring equivalent fractions and patterns.
  • 💡 Pair with hands-on activities such as creating personal fraction walls or using fraction strips.
  • 💡 Encourage students to highlight or colour equivalent fractions to make connections clearer.
  • 💡 Print student-sized versions to laminate and store in maths toolkits or folders.

Teacher Tips:

  • 💛 Laminate posters for year-round use and durability.
  • 💛 Use sticky notes or arrows to highlight key examples on the class display wall during teaching.
  • 💛 Use the posters in small group work or intervention settings to provide visual support.
  • 💛 Encourage students to create their own “mini wall” with only the fractions they currently understand, and expand over time.

Fraction Wall Posters provide a clear, colourful and classroom-ready way to help students visualise fraction relationships – building their confidence and deepening their understanding of equivalent fractions through daily reference and discussion.
