Understanding Fractions and Their Equivalents

The video reviews the Georgia standards for fractions, focusing on understanding fraction equivalents and ordering. It covers fraction concepts for early grades, using hands-on models, interactive games, and real-world tasks to teach fractions. Strategies for comparing and ordering fractions are also discussed.
