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.
Open one card at a time, read the text together, and use the audio button when hearing the line once helps.
visual fraction
Equivalent fractions must come from equal parts of the same whole.
Example: 1/2 = 2/4
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.
These next steps stay in the same stage so the child does not get sent backward.
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.
