In this Grade 4 Eureka Math lesson from Chapter 21, students learn to decompose unit fractions using area models to demonstrate fraction equivalence, for example showing that one-half equals three-sixths or that two-thirds equals six-ninths. Students practice breaking apart unit fractions into smaller equal parts and writing the results as addition sentences and multiplication equations. The lesson builds directly on prior work with tape diagrams and prepares students to recognize and generate equivalent fractions using visual models.
