I know that working with models helps students conceptually understand mathematics they might otherwise simply memorize and apply.

I need help to develop a lesson plan in which students are taught to manipulate and work with two models that show fraction equivalency: one area/region model and one length/set model.

1. Have students discover, develop, and derive an equivalent fraction algorithm.
