MATHS - Numbers - Cancelling (Simplifying) Fractions

The video 'Equivalent Fractions' teaches how to rewrite fractions by changing the numerator and denominator without altering the fraction's value. This is done by multiplying or dividing both parts by the same number. Simplifying fractions involves a similar process called reduction, where the numerator and denominator are divided by a common factor. The video emphasizes the importance of simplification and provides practice exercises to find the highest common factor and simplify fractions to their simplest form. It concludes with additional practice opportunities.
