Equivalent Fractions
Students will identify and generate equivalent fractions using multiplication and division, supported by visual aids.
Key Questions
- Justify why multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number results in an equivalent fraction.
- Compare different pairs of equivalent fractions and identify the underlying mathematical relationship.
- Design a method to quickly find multiple equivalent fractions for a given fraction.
