What Equals 1 Worksheet

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is an educational activity focused on finding reciprocals of given fractions to complete multiplication equations that result in one. Each equation is partially filled, with either the reciprocal or the original fraction missing. Students must identify the missing number that, when multiplied by the provided fraction, will equal one. This type of worksheet is commonly used to reinforce students’ understanding of the concept of multiplicative inverses or reciprocals.

The worksheet is teaching students the mathematical concept that a number (or fraction) multiplied by its reciprocal equals one, which is a fundamental property of reciprocals. By filling in the missing numbers, students practice identifying and writing the reciprocal of a given fraction. This skill is essential for performing operations such as dividing fractions, where one must multiply by the reciprocal instead. Furthermore, this exercise enhances students’ mental math abilities and strengthens their understanding of the relationships between fractions in the context of multiplication.
