One half of a roti is the same amount as two quarters of the same roti.
visual fraction
Equivalent fractions must come from equal parts of the same whole.
Example: 1/2 = 2/4
Use pictures and number patterns to see when two fractions represent the same amount.
Show the whole first, then divide it in different ways. Fractions are equivalent when they cover the same share of the whole.

compare models
Look at the amount shaded, not just the numbers.
Example: 3/6 = 1/2
comparison
Same denominator means compare the numerators.
Example: 3/4 is larger than 2/4.
strategy
A picture often makes fraction comparisons easier.
Example: Visual models support fraction thinking.
Keep the reading rhythm going with another tiny lesson.
Decide whether a problem is asking about the boundary around a shape or the space inside it.
Use thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones to read larger numbers and round them sensibly.
Read practical problems carefully and decide whether to add, subtract, multiply, or divide.
