Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Equivalent fractions have different numerators and denominators, but they represent the same quantity or proportion.
- •
To generate equivalent fractions, multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.
- •
To check if two fractions are equivalent, you can cross multiply them; if the products are the same, the fractions are equivalent.
