Equivalent fractions on the unit segment
Identify the fractions corresponding to each segment. For example, for the eighths, identify 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, and 8/8.
Drag segments by dragging the left endpoint. Overlap one segment on top of another. Identify fractions that correspond to the same point.
For example, if you overlap the segment with the eighths and the segment with the fourths, you will see that 1/4 and 2/8 correspond to the same point.
Identify all fractions equivalent to 1/2. Compare the numerator to the denominator of each of these fractions. What can you say about their relationship?
