Identifying Equivalent Fractions

This video tutorial explains how to create and understand equivalent fractions using fraction models. It begins with an introduction to equivalent fractions, using pie models to illustrate the concept. The tutorial addresses common mistakes, such as assuming fractions with different numerators or denominators are not equivalent. It uses visual models to demonstrate how fractions like one-half and two-fourths are equivalent. The video also provides steps to create equivalent fractions with different denominators and includes problem-solving exercises to reinforce the concepts.

What is an equivalent fraction to one-fourth if the pie is divided into eight equal parts?

• Five-eighths

• Four-eighths

• Three-eighths

Which of the following is a common mistake when identifying equivalent fractions?

• Assuming fractions with the same numerators are always equivalent

• Assuming fractions with different numerators and denominators can be equivalent

• Assuming same denominators mean different values

• Assuming different numerators mean different values

How can you demonstrate that one-half is equivalent to two-fourths using a rectangle model?

• Divide the rectangle into two parts and shade one

• Divide the rectangle into four parts and shade two

• Divide the rectangle into eight parts and shade four

• Divide the rectangle into three parts and shade one

If you need to find an equivalent fraction for one-half with a denominator of eight, what would the numerator be?
