Description

This image builds on the previous one, showing 2/10 with a rectangular model and demonstrating how to generate this equivalent fraction numerically. It displays a rectangle divided into ten parts with two parts shaded, alongside the numerical process of multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 1/5 by 2 to get 2/10.

This representation helps students understand how to create equivalent fractions by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same number. It provides both a visual and numerical explanation of the process.

Teachers can use this image to explain the process of generating equivalent fractions and to reinforce the concept that equivalent fractions represent the same amount.

Teacher's Script: "Now we've multiplied both the top and bottom of 1/5 by 2. What fraction do we get? That's right, 2/10. Look at the rectangle - how does it compare to the 1/5 rectangle we saw before? Even though we've divided it into more parts, the shaded area represents the same amount. This is what we mean by equivalent fractions."
