Two pictures of 3 people trying to look over a fence at a sports game. The 3 people are different heights. In one picture, captioned "equality", they are all standing on the same size box. Two can see over the fence but one can't. In the second picture, captioned "equity", the boxes have been redistributed so that the shortest person has two and can now see over the fence. The tallest person no longer has a box.
