Fractions as Equal Parts

1. Draw two different shapes. Divide each shape into equal parts, but divide them into a different number of parts. Shade in some of the parts in each shape so that the same amount of each shape is shaded. Write the fraction that represents the shaded part of each shape.

2. Explain in your own words what it means for two fractions to be equivalent. Use an example from the video (pizza) or create your own example.

3. Imagine you have a chocolate bar that you want to share equally with a friend. You can either break the chocolate bar into 4 equal pieces and give your friend 2 pieces, or you can break it into 6 equal pieces and give your friend 3 pieces. Which option gives your friend more chocolate? Explain your answer using what you know about fractions.
