You already know that fractions can be broken into parts, but did you know that different fractions can be equivalent? In this lesson, you'll learn all about equivalent fractions and how to compare them.

Learn how equivalent fractions represent the same amount, even with different numerators and denominators. We uses a pizza example to show how 1/2, 2/4, and 4/8 are equivalent, as they all …

We're also going to learn how to figure out whether a fraction is bigger or smaller than another fraction. We'll use cool tools like pictures, number lines, and benchmark fractions.

Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same part of a whole, even though they look different. For example, 1 2 and 2 4 are equivalent fractions because they both represent half of a whole.

Sal uses a number line to help identify equivalent fractions with different denominators.
