Year 4 recycled pizza boxes and scrap paper to make a game that would help them to learn about fractions. Each child created pizzas cut into a variety of number of slices. In the game, the children matched mixed number and improper fraction cards to the pizzas that showed these fractions. Some of the cards were equivalent fractions so the children had to imagine cutting or combining slices to match them. This game certainly got the children thinking and learning lots about fractions. It also got everyone feeling hungry – especially for pizza!
Are these equivalent fraction cards equal to the pizza in the box?
Do these mixed numbers an improper fraction cards match?
Hmmm… What do you think?
Here we are busy playing the matching game…
Do you find yourself feeling hungry for pizza now?
