> Equivalence of fractions: why it is important and when it is easy

> Tuesday 28th March 2006

> 5.30 - 7.00 pm, Room G8
>
> Rational numbers pose problems for learners that differ radically  
> from those in the domain of whole numbers. One of them is  
> equivalence. Two sets with the same number label are equivalent;  
> those with different number labels are not. Neither of these  
> statements is necessarily true of rational numbers. This talk will  
> discuss the different situations in which fractions are used and  
> will show how their differences relate to children's understanding  
> of the equivalence of fractions.
