3.2.1 Equivalent Fractions: The Cut Changes, the Amount Doesn't
Core ideaFold half a sheet again into 2/4 — it looks like more pieces but it's the same amount, so 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6.
Module goal. Understand that "cutting finer makes more parts but the same amount," and master equivalent fractions, reducing to lowest terms, and finding common denominators for comparing and calculating.
