What are Equivalent Fractions?USE AN EVERY DAY MANIPULATIVE TO EXPLAIN THESE FRACTIONSEquivalent fractions are fractions that are expressed in a different way from eachother but have the same value.An excellent method of explaining this to kids is through the use of money. I use American dollars in this example, however any currency works just the same! Even if your child in someway or completely understands this concept, it will just solidify their understanding. This works really well for kids that lean toward any of the three main learning styles. Give your child a one dollar bill and four quarter coins ......either in two groups on the table or the note in one hand and the coins in the other.Now ask them a few questions .... How can 1 of something and 4 of something else have the same value? Because they are composed of the same thing - 100 pennies, but are represented in two different ways. They are EQUIVALENT to eachother. SOME COMMON EXAMPLES
