Teacher works with students in the classroom.

Fractions are a fundamental concept in mathematics, and understanding equivalent fractions is essential for students as they progress in their learning journey. Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value.

Ms. Hamilton's 4th grade mathematicians are exploring this important concept this week using fraction tiles and drawing models to create equivalent fractions. You can practice creating equivalent fractions at home, in a real-world setting.

For example, you can adjust a recipe by doubling or halving the ingredients in a recipe. This will demonstrate how equivalent fractions work in everyday life.
