Description

This image shows another variation with rectangular models demonstrating equivalent fractions: 1/4, 2/8, 3/12, and 4/16. It displays four rectangles side by side, each divided and shaded to represent these fractions.

This representation further reinforces the concept of equivalent fractions using a different set of fractions. It helps students see the pattern in creating equivalent fractions by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Teachers can use this image to discuss how to generate equivalent fractions and to encourage students to look for patterns in the relationships between equivalent fractions.

Teacher's Script: "Here we have rectangular models for 1/4, 2/8, 3/12, and 4/16. How are these fractions related to each other? Can you explain how we get from 1/4 to 2/8, then to 3/12, and finally to 4/16? What number are we multiplying by each time to get the next equivalent fraction?"
