Summary
What if we took a fraction apart, then took those pieces apart, then recombined them, and then recombined those, arriving back to the original fraction?
- Students decompose 1/8 into three fractions.
- They'll *re*compose five fractions into two fractions and then recompose those back to our original fraction.
- Students can then pick their own starting point and create their own path as they decompose and then recompose back to that first fraction.
- Students can use the [fraction equivalence app](https://byrdseed.tv/apps/fraction-equivalence/) to check their sets of fractions.
