Save time planning with this while helping your students develop number sense with this no-prep guided notes resource on simplifying fractions. 

Examples are provided using prime factorization to simplify fractions as well as using the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator to simplify. The lesson is presented in a way that is meant to foster number sense and understanding of equivalent fractions.
