Instructional Ideas

• Allow young mathematicians to turn and discuss the last question with the person sitting next to them
• Assign the link through CK-12 or through Google Classroom in order to keep track of the class's progress

Classroom Considerations

• Assumes learners know the difference between a mixed number and improper fraction and how to write and interpret both visually and numerically
• Requires that all users have a free CK-12 account

Pros

• Pupils can see hints as they work through each problem
• The interactive allows users to manipulate the pies and fractions throughout the course of the question set

Cons

• None
