Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of squares in each model (denominator) and the colored portion (numerator). Because there is an explanation below these models, this will work best as an all-class warm up. Cover up the bottom half until after kids have tried this on their own.
