Why do you need equivalent fractions?
What would our world be like without fractions? Our language would certainly change! You could never tell a friend to break a cookie in "half" to share with you. You could only tell them to break it into two pieces. A glass containing water could never be described as "half full." How could you describe this glass? There would be no such thing as "half past the hour" with timekeeping. You could never say you are "halfway" there when traveling. Obviously, fractions are truly an important part of our language. They are equally important for mathematics. the reason you need equivalent Fractions is because that it is the only way to add or subtract fractions. You do not need equivalent fractoins when you multiply or divide though

What is a root world?
A root word is the most basic form of a word, stripped of any prefixes or suffixes.

Connecting new words and patterns lesson 5 and 6?
In Lessons 5 and 6, the focus is on reinforcing vocabulary acquisition and recognizing patterns in language. These lessons encourage learners to connect new words with existing knowledge, enhancing retention and understanding. By identifying patterns, such as prefixes, suffixes, and root words, students can deduce meanings and expand their vocabulary effectively. This integrated approach fosters deeper comprehension and facilitates language use in various contexts.
What is the function of affixes?
Affixes are linguistic elements added to a root word to modify its meaning or grammatical function. They can be prefixes, which precede the root, or suffixes, which follow it, and they often change the word's part of speech, tense, or nuance. For example, adding "un-" to "happy" creates "unhappy," altering its meaning. Overall, affixes help create new words and convey more precise meanings in language.
