Caroline from Doodles and Digits introduces equivalent fractions, explaining their importance in solving equations and practical applications like baking. The video covers methods to find equivalent fractions using models, charts, and mathematical operations. It provides examples and exercises to reinforce understanding, concluding with a recap and encouragement to revisit the video for a refresher.

What is a key characteristic of equivalent fractions?

• They represent different values.

• They have the same numerators and denominators.

• They look different but represent the same value.

• They are always improper fractions.

Why are equivalent fractions useful in solving equations?

• They make equations more complex.

• They are only useful in division problems.

• They allow for easier addition and subtraction with common denominators.

• They eliminate the need for numerators.

How can equivalent fractions be helpful in baking?

• They are not useful in baking.

• They are used to convert recipes to metric units.

• They change the taste of the recipe.

• They help in measuring exact amounts when the right cup is unavailable.

What is one method to find equivalent fractions using models?

• By adding more pieces to the model.

• By cutting the model into more pieces.

• By using a different model entirely.

• By changing the color of the model.

Which fraction is equivalent to 1/2?

• 5/10

• 3/6

• 2/5

How can you find equivalent fractions using multiplication?

• By multiplying only the numerator.

• By multiplying the numerator and denominator by different numbers.

• By multiplying only the denominator.

• By multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number.

What happens when you multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number?

• You change the value of the fraction.

• You create a new fraction with a different value.

• You make the fraction improper.

• You multiply by a whole number equivalent to one.

Which of the following is an equivalent fraction to 2/5?
