Understanding Fractions and Their Equivalents

This lesson teaches how to read, write, and identify equivalent fractions using models. It explains that equivalent fractions have different numerators and denominators but represent the same value. Using a chocolate bar model, the lesson demonstrates how to divide a whole into equal parts and name fractions correctly. It also covers how to solve problems involving equivalent fractions, such as dividing apples among friends, and emphasizes using models like pizza pies for better understanding.
