when using fraction strips how do you know that two fractions are equivalent
Look at these fraction strips.

Do you see that 2 - 1/4 strips are the same size as a 1/2 strip? 2/4 = 1/2
How many 1/6 strips are the same as 1/2?

To determine if two fractions are equivalent when using fraction strips, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the two fractions you want to compare, for example, 1/2 and 2/4.
2. Use fraction strips or models to represent each fraction separately. For example, for 1/2, you would use a fraction strip that has two equal parts and shade in one part. For 2/4, you would use a fraction strip that has four equal parts and shade in two parts.
3. Once you have the visual representation of both fractions, compare them side by side. Look for any similarities or patterns in the shading or the marked parts.
4. If the shaded or marked parts in both fractions cover the same portion of the whole strip and are in the same position relative to the parts, then the fractions are equivalent. In our example, if the shading covers the same portion and is in the same position, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent.
Remember, when using fraction strips, it is important to ensure that both fractions are represented on the same size or type of fraction strip for accurate comparison.
When using fraction strips, you can determine if two fractions are equivalent by comparing their lengths on the strips. Here's how to do it:
1. Start by selecting two fractions that you want to compare for equivalence, let's call them Fraction A and Fraction B.
2. Take out the fraction strips and find the strip that represents Fraction A. For example, if Fraction A is 1/2, find the strip labeled 1/2.
3. Place the strip representing Fraction A horizontally on a surface or a clear sheet of paper.
4. Now, find the strip that corresponds to Fraction B. Let's say Fraction B is 2/4, find the strip labeled 2/4.
5. Place the strip representing Fraction B right next to Fraction A on the same surface or paper. Make sure the starting point of both strips align.
6. Compare the lengths of Fraction A and Fraction B on the strips. If Fraction A and Fraction B cover the same length on the strips, they are equivalent fractions. In other words, if the two strips completely overlap each other, then the fractions are equivalent.
7. If the two strips do not overlap completely, then the fractions are not equivalent. Compare the lengths on the strips to see if one fraction is greater or smaller than the other.
By visually examining the lengths on the fraction strips, you can easily determine if two fractions are equivalent or not.
