Exploring Equivalent Fractions in GO Math

This video tutorial covers lesson 9.6 on modeling equivalent fractions using paper and number lines. It explains how to fold paper to create and identify equivalent fractions, such as one-half, two-fourths, and four-eighths. The lesson also explores changes in numerators and denominators as fractions are divided further. Additionally, the video demonstrates using number lines to find equivalent fractions and compare them visually. The tutorial concludes with a practical problem involving sandwiches to reinforce the concept of equivalent fractions.

What are equivalent fractions?
