Description

This image shows equivalent circular fraction models for 2/4 and 1/2. It displays two circles side by side, one divided into four equal parts with two parts shaded (representing 2/4), and the other divided into two equal parts with one part shaded (representing 1/2).

This visual representation helps students understand that fractions can be equivalent even when written differently. It introduces the concept of simplifying fractions by showing that 2/4 and 1/2 represent the same portion of a whole.

Teachers can use this image to introduce the concept of equivalent fractions and to begin discussions about simplifying fractions to their lowest terms.

Teacher's Script: "Look at these two circular models. One shows 2/4 and the other shows 1/2. What do you notice about the shaded portions? 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 other fractions that might be equivalent to these?"
