[quote=Anonymous]What words should a 3rd grader use to explain that 3/4 = 6/8? She has a rectangle with 8 compartments in it and was told to shade in 3/4 of the boxes. She correctly shaded in 3/4 on one side of the rectangle and another 3/4 on the other side. Is the explanation, 3 out of 4 (equal parts) of one half of the rectangle and 3 out of 4 (equal parts) Of the other half of the rectangle = 6/8 of the whole rectangle? Seems like a LOT to ask a 3rd grader to write. [/quote]
