Everyone loves pizza! Learners define fractions and use manipulatives to calculate fractions. Kids cut circles to represent various fractional parts of a pizza. Some accommodations are included. 

Students view a large illustration of a pizza with parts of velcro.  In this addition and subtraction of fractions lesson, students solve problems based on the pieces missing from the pizza. Students take a fraction quiz. Order a...

As part of a study of narrative writing, young story tellers are asked to revise 20 telling sentences and create showing ones.

Fourth graders define fractional terms. In this fractions activity, 4th graders practice simplifying proper fractions using parts of a pizza.  Students use the three-step method  and reduce fractions.  Students...

After your math classes have been introduced to fractions (especially those with denominators of two, four, and eight), introduce them to fractions on a number line with this lesson plan. Using a meter length of tape, show your class...

What are fractions? Find out using a reference page and video that goes in depth on how to make fractions equivalent, write fractions in simplest form, convert improper fractions into mixed numbers, and vice versa. Following...

Fourth graders explore number values by utilizing a candy bar in class. In this fraction lesson, 4th graders divide pizza and candy amongst each other in order to identify parts of a whole and fractions. Students answer several fraction...

First graders identify a whole and the fractions 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 using pizza. This is a very nice lesson, in that not only do students practice their fractions, they also get to eat the pizza at the end of the lesson!

Fourth graders complete a pizza fraction project. In this pizza fractions lesson plan, 4th graders use construction paper to make toppings for a pizza and cover the pizza according to fraction exercises. Students put their pizza and...

Students review fractions using a visual display. They receive a can of Play Dough and have to complete a worksheet figuring out how to divide up a pizza for a specified number of guests.

First graders explore fractions with manipulatives. For this fraction lesson, 1st graders use paper foods such as sandwiches and pizza in order to find halves, thirds, fourths, eighths, and more. This lesson is divided up into 3 tiers...

Use visual shading and scenario questions to help your mathematicians divide fractions in this problem-solving worksheet! Students shade parts and solve, write multiplication and division sentences, solve word problems, and find...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks and fraction identification cards to create and identify fractions. In this fractions lesson plan, 4th graders identify fractions in a pizza, and make fractions with markers.

Students use fraction circles to observe fractions in smaller parts and to complete charting and word problem activities. In this fraction lesson plan, students complete chart problems, word problems, and fraction comparing problems...

Students listen to various books about sharing food or food fractions. Then they discuss their fraction feast, examining the food and deciding how it can be shared to make fractions.

An extensive lesson explores equivalent fractions and is intended for three 60-minute periods. Young mathematicians compare and order fractions with like and unlike denominators. Included are worksheets, assessments, and answer sheets;...

Students create fractions using strips of paper and then compare the fractions.

Students describe importance of fractions in everyday life by identifying equivalent fractions and manipulating pizza pieces to show examples of equivalent fractions, and demonstrate knowledge of how whole can be divided into equal-sized...

Students become familiar with fractions, and have a meaningful experience to relate them to. They write fractions, and identify numerators and denominators.

Students complete a worksheet.  In this fractions activity, students review their knowledge of fractions, define equivalent fractions, see examples of equivalent fractions and practice making equivalent fractions.

Pupils work in small groups to find pictures that represent the fractions 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. They paste their examples onto bulletin board paper and share their results with the rest of the class.

Seventh graders multiply and divide fractions. Using the teepee method, 7th graders model fractions as they find solutions to problems. They recognize that "of" means to multiply and explore real life situations when multiplying or...

Learners engage in hands-on activities and observe videos to develop fraction skills. In one activity, they create "paper pizzas" complete with original toppings. By swapping pieces, students display whole and unique-looking pizzas.

Students read the story about Babuie's behavior and relate it to a finite state machine. In this language arts lesson, students discuss and analyze their reading assignments. They develop a method to help them understand the finite state...
