Objective
Students will decompose a fraction and then recompose the pieces until they're back to the starting point.
I wrote this app to make it easy for you (or your students!) to check if two sets of fractions are equivalent.
Steps
- Students decompose 1/8 into three fractions.
- They'll recompose 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 to check their sets of fractions.
