Exploring Equivalent Fractions

The video tutorial explains equivalent fractions, which are fractions that look different but have the same value. Using examples with pizzas, it demonstrates how fractions like two quarters and four eighths are equivalent. A fraction wall is used to visually show these equivalences. The tutorial also covers converting fractions to decimals to prove equivalence and provides practice exercises for finding equivalent fractions and simplifying them.
