Pizza Time!

By: Nicholas Clark

South Carolina State Standards:
3.NSF.1 Develop an understanding of fractions (i.e.,
denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10) as numbers.
3.NSF.2 Explain fraction equivalence (i.e., denominators 2, 3, 4,
6, 8, 10) by demonstrating an understanding that:

Objectives:
Students will be able to determine where a fraction is located
on a number line.
Students will be able to create a number line and graph
fractions.
 Pizza Facts!
The word pizza was first
documented in AD 997 in
different parts of Central and
Southern Italy!
 What are
Fractions?

PIZZA = "Fractions: Any Way

You Slice It!"

 In this rotation, I will show the
student how to create and and
label fractions by distributing a
pie chart.

After every student is distributed a

chart, I will review numbers (2, 3, 4,
6, 8, 10) and explain why the
function as denominators.
How many slices do you see?
 In the next rotation, students will be put in groups of three. At teach table
they will be given a detachable pie chart, and a list of equations.
As a group, they will have to determine what the correct fraction is
and make the fraction of the detachable pie chart pieces.
 Each table will have a certain
amount of time to answer the
problem, once the time runs out I
will go around and keep score of
which group got the correct answer.
I will review each question and
answer out loud.
 I will provide the students with a live example of fractions by
cutting a pizza and distributing to the class.
 I will start with a whole cake and cut the cake down fraction by fraction
using common denominators.
Closure
After the cake is cut to the lowest denominator. I will distribute
it to the class to enjoy. I will explain eat cut step by step to the
students.
 Before dismissal I will have an open-
ended discussion with the class on what
they learned today and how everyday
you are using Fractions

Pizza is a great start to

remember!
Party!
