The third line was divided into thirds. The students labeled the points 0/3, 1/3, 2/3, 3/3. You probably get the idea. The remaining lines were divided into fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, and twelfths, and the points were labeled. (It is very important to be sure that 1/2, 2/4, 3/6 etc. line up vertically.) Then my students took a piece of string and laid it vertically. It touched the equivalent fractions. You have not only taught equivalent fractions, you have also taught labeling a number line with fractions between zero and one.
