+iscussion Cuestions Can all fractions, if cut into small enou,h pieces e made to represent the same siDe piece? Is there a finite wa3 to uild one whole with fraction pieces? Which is easier, chan,in, fractions into common denominators, or drawin, pictures? Is it necessar3 to find common denominators? Wh3 or wh3 not?

Self-Assessment Chec? 3our understandin, +o 3our illustrations show the correct fraction or whole? Can 3ou reco,niDe e)uivalent fractions when the denominators are different? Can 3ou show how to find common denominators usin, the least common multiple and e#plain wh3 it wor?s?
