Fraction Forge9-12 · Scaling equivalence: proof and boundary
Ready

This is a simulation, not a quiz. You answer by trying things and watching what happens.

Our question

When does scaling numerator and denominator preserve a fraction's value?

Getting the simulation ready…

  1. 1Build or change something
  2. 2Say what will happen, then run it
  3. 3Finish: say what you found
What counts as evidence
  • 1/2 split into 2/4 with the shaded edge fixed.
  • The k = 0 test, and why 0/0 has no value.
  • The rule a/b = ka/kb stated with the conditions it needs.
  • A conclusion must address the Fraction Forge question.
