Visual aids are really helpful when you want to compare equivalent fractions. Here are some great ways to do that:

1. Fraction Circles: These are circle models that show how different fractions can take up the same amount of space. For example, $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$ both fill the same part of the circle.

2. Bar Models: These models place fractions next to each other. If you look at a bar model for $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$, you can see that both fractions take up the same length of the bar.

3. Number Lines: Putting fractions on a number line helps you see their values clearly. For example, you will notice that $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ land on the same point.

Using these tools not only makes it easier to compare fractions but also helps you understand them better!
