Description

This image shows the next fraction in the sequence: 4/6. It displays a rectangular model divided into six parts with four parts shaded, representing 4/6. It may also include the numerical process of multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 2 to get 4/6.

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 potentially 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 2/3 by 2. What fraction do we get? That's right, 4/6. Look at the rectangle - how does it compare to the 2/3 rectangle we saw before? Even though we've divided it into more parts, the shaded area represents the same amount. Can you see how 2/3 and 4/6 are equivalent?"
