This document provides a lesson on equivalent fractions. It explains that two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same amount or portion. For fractions to be equivalent, the same operation must be applied to both the numerator and denominator. Some examples are provided of determining if fractions are equivalent by dividing or multiplying both terms by the same number. Strategies for identifying equivalent fractions involve looking at relationships between the numerator and denominator and applying the same operations to both terms.
