EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS

The word equivalent is used when two or more fractions are

EQUAL

to each other.

For example: ½ is equivalent to 2/4.

I know this because if i have ½ and I cut it again, I now have 2 pieces shaded in out of 4.

Adding(+) and Subtracting(-) FRACTIONS

When we add fractions, we need to have two fractions that are the same whole.

For example:

If I have ¼ + ¼ I now have 2/4 of the candy bar shaded.

When we subtract fractions, we also need the two fractions to have the same whole.

For example:

If I have ¾ shaded and I take away 2/4 , I now have ¼ shaded.
