Finding Equivalent Fractions Using Patterns

The video tutorial introduces equivalent fractions and explains how to find them using two methods: multiplication and the pattern method. The instructor first defines equivalent fractions and demonstrates the multiplication method, emphasizing the identity property. The pattern method is then introduced, showing how repeated addition can also be used to find equivalent fractions. The video includes examples and exercises for viewers to practice these methods, concluding with a call to action for viewer engagement.
