Did you know that 3/4 and 6/8 are equivalent fractions?

Maybe you did, but did you know that if you forget to brush 3 of your 4 top teeth and 6 of your bottom 8 teeth, your teeth prove that 3/4 and 6/8 are visually equivalent?!

And did you know that if a 4 sectioned caterpillar/vampire fills up 3 of its sections with “juice” and another fills up 6 of its 8 sections, they’re equally full!

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE.

My flowers grow with 4 petals, but only 3 of them are yellow. What happens if I grow 2 flowers?! Do you see 3/4 and 6/8 in my flowers?

Have you ever taken a test and wondered why getting 3 out of 4 questions gives you the same grade as getting 6 out of 8?! Do you see any patterns in the way the tests are scored?!

The Joy of Math is EVERYWHERE!

Draw your own version or 3/4 and 6/8 and email it to me so I can share it on my pages!
