Equivalent Fractions

If there were four socks to wear, then we would say there'd be two in each pair

And one of the two pairs we can declare equals two-fourths of all the socks there

Drawing one-half and two-fourths on a number line shows they can be described with an equals sign

An equal value is what they're worth, so we say one-half is equivalent to two-fourths

Equivalent fractions is the name for fractions whose values are the same

Once upon a time there were nine canaries on telephone wires sitting down in threes

Each wire contained one-third of the birds, so three-ninths is equivalent to one-third

Drawing one-third and three-ninths on a number line shows one-third equals three parts out of nine

Therefore, equivalent is the word that describes three-ninths and one-third

Equivalent fractions is the name for fractions whose values are the same

If the numerator and denominator share a common factor

then you can divide the top and bottom by the same number

On top and under, and say with satisfaction, we found an equivalent fraction

You can multiply the top and the bottom by the same number

On top and under, which is really a fraction whose value equals one

And through this action we found an equivalent fraction

Equivalent fractions is the name for fractions whose values are the same

The values are the same

Equivalent fractions is the name for fractions whose values are the same

The values are the same
