Equal Echo at Taj Mahal

Fraction Equivalence & Comparing Adventure Pack

Across the shimmering marble of the Taj Mahal, reflections are not matching. Mosaic patterns are uneven. Tile designs that should mirror each other are out of balance. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the fraction symmetry system. If equivalent fractions cannot align correctly, the harmony of the structure could fall apart.

In Equal Echo at Taj Mahal, students board the Marble Mirror Boat and enter a high-stakes math mission. To restore balance, explorers must identify equivalent fractions, simplify where possible, and use benchmark fractions like 1/2 to compare values. By finding common denominators, placing fractions on a number line, and clearly explaining their reasoning, students bring mathematical symmetry back to the marble masterpiece.

This adventure blends fraction equivalence and comparison skills with visual reasoning and problem-solving.
