Today, We talked about Determining Equivalent Fractions on the smart board. Mr. Rochester asked the class how to determine if fractions are equivalent. Graham answered by saying that you can find a common denominator to determine whether the fractions are common. We also determined that cross multiplication is another way: 1/2=2/4 - cross multiplying the 1 and 8, and 2 and 4 will give you the product of eight, which means they are equivalent. We also figured that by just dividing the fractions we would know if they are equivalent: 1/2, 4/8, they both equal .5 or 1/2.
