Description

This image serves as a summary slide showing the four equivalent fractions explored in the previous sequence: 2/3, 4/6, 6/9, and 8/12. It displays all four rectangular models side by side, clearly demonstrating their equivalence.

This representation provides a comprehensive view of the equivalent fractions, allowing students to see the progression and pattern all at once. It reinforces the concept that these fractions, despite looking different, all represent the same amount. The visual comparison of the four models helps students understand how equivalent fractions relate to each other and to the original fraction.

Teachers can use this image to review the sequence, discuss patterns in both numerators and denominators, and solidify understanding of equivalent fractions. It's also an excellent opportunity to introduce or reinforce the concept of simplifying fractions, as all of these can be simplified to 2/3.

Teacher's Script: "Let's review what we've learned. Here are all four fractions we've explored: 2/3, 4/6, 6/9, and 8/12. What patterns do you notice in the numerators and denominators? How can we prove that these fractions are all equivalent? Can you see how we multiplied both the top and bottom numbers by 1, 2, 3, and 4 to get each fraction? Which of these fractions do you think is in its simplest form, and why?"
