*Equivalent Fractions!!!

WHAT are they ?

ONE HALF and TWO QUARTERS equal the same thing because HALF OF FOUR equals TWO. Half of a half is one quarter, so two quarters equal a half. As I have just proved here, equivalent fractions are two or more fractions with the same value. They are the same besides the fact that the sizes/pieces are smaller. Think of it as a cake. The more people you have to share with, the smaller the pieces get.

The best way to find equivalent fractions is to reduce the two or more fractions into their smallest value. I showed this in my bubbleshare using pictures =) Okay, so this post is finally done =)
