Sofia sees fractions in a new way.
One incorrect answer does not explain what the learner understands. Her teacher Anna investigates the reasoning behind it.

With fraction strips and prompting, Sofia can show that ½ = ²⁄₄, but does not yet connect this securely to symbolic notation.
Anna models equivalent fractions and asks Sofia to link visual representations to the matching symbols.
Recheck her independent explanation, retention and use of the idea in unfamiliar problems.
