Generating Equivalent Fractions (Part 1)

The video tutorial explains how to add fractions by ensuring they have equal denominators. It uses a pizza model to visually demonstrate the process, showing that fractions must be converted to have the same denominator before they can be added. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the role of denominators and provides a step-by-step guide to equalizing them, ultimately leading to the addition of fractions with a visual representation.
