Mastering Equivalent Fractions

This video tutorial covers the essential skill of creating equivalent fractions. It begins with an introduction to the concept and demonstrates how to use fraction strips to visualize equivalent fractions. The video explains the rule that equivalent fractions can be made by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. It provides practice examples using different factors and encourages viewers to apply the concept independently. The tutorial concludes with a transition to the next topic, reducing fractions.
