Description
This hands on math activity is a great way to build conceptual understanding of equivalent fractions and comparing fractions using concrete modeling. Students will have so much fun, they won't even realize they're learning! It's easy to assess understanding of equivalent fractions with a quick look at each student's final pizza.
This resource includes:
- teacher directions
- student directions with photos of each step
- handout of pizza topping ideas and symbols
- 6 pizza templates - halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, eighths, and twelfths
- a scoring rubric
- a black and white version to accommodate black and white printing
To complete the activity students will:
- draw and color toppings on their pizzas and then cut out the pieces
- trade pieces of their pizza for equivalent amounts of their classmates' pizzas (for example, a student can trade a 1/3 sized piece of pizza for two 1/6 sized pieces)
- re-assemble their pizzas - if they end up with an entire pizza, then they swapped correctly!
- write a fraction to represent each type of pizza they ended up with
To differentiate:
6 different fractions are included - halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, eighths, and twelfths. I give lower level students halves, thirds, and fourths and save the sixths, eighths and twelfths for higher level students.
