Description

This learning resource focuses on exploring equivalent fractions. The primary learning goals include identifying equivalent fractions using visual models and explaining why they represent the same value. The document provides a hands-on approach, beginning with a worked example using pizza fractions to illustrate the concept visually. Students engage in activities that allow them to draw visual models to represent equivalent fractions, such as demonstrating that 1/3 is equal to 2/6. Various sections guide learners through visualizing equivalence, practicing the multiplication rule to find equivalents, and comparing equivalent versus non-equivalent fractions. Students will also create their own fraction models and reflect on their understanding, enhancing their grasp of the concept of fractions in both theoretical and practical aspects.
