Understanding Equivalence: Using Fraction Circles to Compare 3/6 and 4/8
Understanding Equivalence: Using Fraction Circles to Compare 3/6 and 4/8
This video demonstrates how students can practice determining equivalent fractions with different denominators using fraction circles. Students can explore this concept by comparing different representations of the same value against a whole fraction circle. After students have found one representation of the same fraction (3/6), teachers can encourage students to find another representation (4/8). Teachers can then ask students to discuss the patterns that they see in the different representations of the same value.
