Our focus this week is on equivalent fractions. We will be comparing fractions using greater than, less than, and equal to symbols. We are also allowing learners to draw models and number lines to represent fractions. Fourth graders need to draw upon their prior knowledge of fractions.
Equivalent Fractions- Equivalent fractions are different fractions that name the same number. Let's look at some more examples of equivalent fractions. Example 2. Two-thirds is equivalent to four-sixths. *Draw two stacking numberlines to help you compare fractions. Use a ruler to determine if the fractions are equal OR equivalent. Remember to draw your "tick" marks on the numberline as equal parts just as you do for a fraction model.
