    • Can you circle all the fractions in our big list that are equivalent to?
    • Can you circle all the fractions in our big list that are reduced?
    • Of all the fractions with denominators less than twenty, which denominator has the most reduced fractions?
    • How is this list of fractions related to other things you’ve talked about in previous sessions?
