Identifying Equivalent Fractions Using Fraction Models

This video tutorial teaches how to identify equivalent fractions using fraction models. It begins by explaining the basics of fractions, including numerators and denominators, and addresses common misconceptions. The tutorial uses visual models to demonstrate how different fractions can represent the same amount, such as 1/2, 2/4, and 4/8. A practical example with pies illustrates the concept further, showing that 1/3 and 2/6 are equivalent. The lesson concludes by reinforcing the understanding of equivalent fractions through models.
