Exploring Equivalent Fractions in 4th Grade Math

The video tutorial introduces the concept of equivalent fractions, explaining that they represent equal values. It provides a visual example using rectangles to demonstrate how 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4. The tutorial then explains how to find equivalent fractions using multiplication and division, with examples such as converting 3/8 to 6/16. Students are given practice problems to solve, reinforcing the methods taught. The video encourages students to review the steps and share their strategies in class.
