Multiple Choice
Whose turn is closer to being a full turn?
10
Neither is closer to a full turn.
Neither turn is closer because the turns are the same, or equal. The circles that represent both turns are the same size, and the amount of shading in both circles is the same. They represent the same part of a full turn.

A rectangle that is divided into 6 equal parts has smaller parts than a same-sized rectangle that is divided into 2 equal parts. One part in 1/2
is the same size as three parts in 3/6 .

There are other ways we can write 3/6 in visual models.
Here is one of them.

To write an equivalent fraction, multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same number.
When you compared the numerators, you found that 3 parts is 3 times as many as 1 part. When you compared the denominators, you found that 6 parts is 3 times as many as 2 parts. You can multiply the numerator by 3, and you can multiply the denominator by 3.
