Understanding Equivalence: Finding Equivalent Factors for 1/5, 2/5, and 3/5
Understanding Equivalence: Finding Equivalent Factors for 1/5, 2/5, and 3/5
This video demonstrates how to use fraction tiles to explore how different fractions can be equivalent to the same value, such as 1/5 and 2/10. It is important for students to understand that fractions have multiple representations because they can apply this knowledge to compare fractions, find common denominators, and perform computation with fractions.
