Main Concepts
Understand that the numerical process of multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number, n, corresponds physically to partitioning each unit fraction piece into n smaller equal pieces. A whole is then partitioned into n times as many pieces, and there are n times as many smaller unit fraction pieces as in the original fraction (Multiplying ½ by 2/2 is the same as splitting a rectangle with 2 equal parts into 4 equal parts with 2 parts shaded in to show that ½ = 2/4.)
Multiplying a fraction by any fraction with the same numerator and denominator is the same as multiplying by 1 which is why the value does not change.
Find equivalent fractions by multiplying by a fraction equivalent to 1 in the form of n/n, represent this with models getting addition partitions without shading in addition unit fractions.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What does the numerator of a fraction tell us? What does the denominator of a fraction tell us? How can we compare fractions with different denominators?
After the Game
Does the value of a fraction change when you multiply it by one? What is the value of a fraction with the same numerator and denominator? What is a method that can prove if two fractions are equivalent?
