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?

  1. Students decompose 1/8 into three fractions.
  2. They'll *re*compose five fractions into two fractions and then recompose those back to our original fraction.
  3. Students can then pick their own starting point and create their own path as they decompose and then recompose back to that first fraction.
  4. Students can use the [fraction equivalence app](https://byrdseed.tv/apps/fraction-equivalence/) to check their sets of fractions.
