Exploring Equivalent Fractions with Pattern Blocks

This video tutorial teaches how to create equivalent fractions using pattern block shapes. It explains the concept of equivalent fractions and demonstrates how different shapes like hexagons, trapezoids, rhombi, and triangles can be used to form equivalent fractions. The video emphasizes the importance of using the same size pieces when creating equivalent fractions and provides examples of how to build hexagons using different shapes. By the end of the lesson, viewers will understand how to create equivalent fractions and recognize the value of each shape in relation to a hexagon.
