Description

This image presents circular fraction models for 1/2 and 2/4, illustrating that equal fractions can be written in different forms. It shows two circles side by side, one divided into two equal parts with one part shaded (representing 1/2), and the other divided into four equal parts with two parts shaded (representing 2/4).

This visual representation helps students understand that fractions can look different but represent the same amount. It introduces the fundamental concept of equivalent fractions using a familiar circular model.

Teachers can use this image to initiate discussions about equivalent fractions and to help students visualize how different fractions can represent the same portion of a whole.

Teacher's Script: "Look at these two circles. One shows 1/2 and the other shows 2/4. What do you notice about the shaded areas? Even though these fractions are written differently, they represent the same amount. This is what we mean by equivalent fractions. Can you think of any real-world situations where you might use either 1/2 or 2/4 to describe the same thing?"
